Trip to the Eastern Shore - 16 and 17 April 2011


Needed to get out of the “big city” this weekend.  We toured Nova Scotia in 2008 but we missed the East Coast due to a hurricane.  We decided to remedy this with a trip to Sherbrook Village and possibly Canso.  I  decided to take a couple of photographs at Lawrencetown beach before heading down the coast.

Started rather late Saturday morning I like being at a site before sun-up but when traveling with others you need to make allowances.  Lawrencetown beach is well known to local surfers, it has a nice shore break, complimented by a stunning rock beach.  Saturday morning was cold minus 6 when we headed out, not a typical spring day, there was some good cloud colour which helps saturate the colour of the rocks.  First time at this spot but I will definitely be back in the near future.

Ended up in Sherbrook at midday.  We were the only residents at the Motel which suited us fine.  We explored the area including the “old village” which includes period piece actors/villagers in the summer season.

 We eventually wandered down a little lane leading to Walters Cove an area which really typifies the glaciated heritage of the area.  I decided to visit again the next morning, I am pretty happy with the results it was worth standing in the ocean and freezing my ass off.  All in all a nice trip.
