Hot and Humid Beach Hike: Summary in Three Videos

Soley Cove approximately 2 Hours and 15 minutes after high tide

This mini-waterfall along the way provided a little reprieve from the relentless heat
A dream come true: I made my way to the Old Wife Rock and passed the Old Wife Formation just as the tide turned.

I started on familiar territory, the sandy, easy to navigate Soley Cove beach and finished at Five Islands Provincial Park Day-use Area. There was sand, red mud, seaweed hiding some quicksand-like sections that sucked my legs in to well above my ankles and, just when I thought I had reached the Old Wife Formation, my balance was challenged by clambering over seaweed and barnacle covered basalt rocks. Four hours well spent! I won’t lie, this was a challenging solo-hike despite careful preparation. Would I make this into a tour? The answer is a firm “no”.

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend! We look forward to another day of warm weather tomorrow.
