We decided to take a drive to Yarmouth. It is in Western Nova Scotia, and since they have taken the ferry away that travels from Yarmouth to Portland and Bar Harbour I think it has hurt the town. There is a lighthouse there that I was interested in visiting so we took the over 2 hr drive. We started at a Restaurant called the Rudder. A very nice place overlooking the water. It is a restaurant and pub and they brew their own beer on site. I was on a strict diet plan so I couldn't be a good judge on food, but my husband said he really liked the fish, only lightly coated so you get more of the fish. So if you are there give it a try, so here goes:
Nice rustic atmosphere, comfy, can eat inside or out on the patio.
Overlooking the harbor.
It was such a foggy day, as we get a lot of fog along our coast line. I could hear the birds making lots of noise so I had to zoom in and pray something came out, this is a little piece of land in the water.
Our next stop was a Cape Forchu Lightstation, it is only a 10 minute drive from Yarmouth.
The lighthouse is sitting on top of volcanic rock that was formed many many years ago.
Some of the volcanic rock.
A very nice place to visit, very well kept, a must see if you are in the area.
