To The Far Side of Partridge Island We Ventured…

August 4th had been circled in red on my calendar for weeks! My tide app informed me that it would be THE day for the lowest tide during the Sturgeon Super Moon phase. I knew then where I would spend the morning hours. When one reaches the end of the natural gravel path with theContinue reading “To The Far Side of Partridge Island We Ventured…”

Custom Variety Tour a Success!

It’s always a great day when a pre-booked tour turns out even better than expected! The Meeting of the Waters Tour was what alerted this family to my offerings. We started there, overlooking Two Islands from the cat-bird seat, witnessing the tide rush in and swallowing up the sandy portion of the beach in recordContinue reading “Custom Variety Tour a Success!”

An Evening to Remember…

It was an honour to be invited as a business operator located in the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark to take part in a Tourism Nova Scotia presentation for recertification of the Geopark. The event took place at Cape d’Or with a meal to die for! Witnessing the full Sturgeon Moon rise as we hiked backContinue reading “An Evening to Remember…”

Soley Cove – Where Red Sandstone Cliffs Contrast with an Azure Sky

The brief: “We have one day to explore outside of Halifax. We would love to experience the Bay of Fundy!“ This was the perfect challenge that arrived via text from a couple based in Saskatoon, SK on Monday night. A mutual friend connected us. The weather could not have been more perfect for our SoleyContinue reading “Soley Cove – Where Red Sandstone Cliffs Contrast with an Azure Sky”

Last of the Season!!

Lobster Boil that is!! Big smiles make the best tip! Another happy couple staying at the Pleasant Street Inn took the opportunity to prebook a rustic Lobster Boil. What are you eating tonight? Can’t wait for next year’s lobster season to begin. It was great to meet guests from across Canada and treat them toContinue reading “Last of the Season!!”

Prep Day!

Every once in a while you get a challenge that is all-consuming! I spent the day getting ready for a special beach treasure hunt tour with a young family from Toronto tomorrow! The Fundy Geological Museum passed my name on three weeks ago suggesting I might be able to take two young girls (7 andContinue reading “Prep Day!”

Edgett’s Beach at High Tide

Edgett’s Beach is located in West Apple River near the Eatonville Day Use Area. We decided to go on a drive this afternoon and as we neared Advocate Harbour fog rolled in from the Bay of Fundy. Once we arrived at Edgett’s Beach the fog was on its way out and just at the timeContinue reading “Edgett’s Beach at High Tide”

In the Footsteps of the Dinosaurs at Wasson’s Bluff & Two Islands

Gillespie House B&B guests tore themselves away from these gorgeous grounds to explore the geology along two well-known and popular beaches along the Parrsboro Shore. Four hours well spent looking for rocks, crabs, hermit crabs and watching the tide rise around Eagle Island! We had mist, fog and even some rain which meant the newContinue reading “In the Footsteps of the Dinosaurs at Wasson’s Bluff & Two Islands”

Shrouded in Mist…

Another RDF (rain-drizzle-fog) kinda day! I won’t keep me from heading to Clarke Head… Hope the sun shines wherever you are! Have a fantastic day, Anna

Berry Picking Season…

…has begun!!! thanks to the invitation from a friend I had an opportunity to get a head start on putting up for winter. It was a hot, humid and mosquito-swatting 3 hours with great discussions about food and nutrition and laughter! 12 pints of plums, ripe Hascap berries ready for the freezer. Wishing you allContinue reading “Berry Picking Season…”

Last Minute Soley Cove Photo Tour

I just love when my schedule allows for a last minute tour booking, as happed this morning. The text from The Pleasant Street Inn arrived at 8:15 pm inquiring if I was free. I had a morning commitment and knew the tide wasn’t favourable to do an ocean floor tour till later in the day.Continue reading “Last Minute Soley Cove Photo Tour”

Exploring the Carboniferous Age Cliffs on a Hot July Day

I had cleared all commitments from my calendar, met my deadlines and with a day at my disposal decided to tackle a hike on my bucket list, East Bay to West Bay starting near Partridge Island. My starting time was 2.5 hours after high tide which ensured that any possible punch point would be clear.Continue reading “Exploring the Carboniferous Age Cliffs on a Hot July Day”

Eagle and Gull Islands Revisited

Eagle and Gull Islands are better known as Two Islands along the Parrsboro Shore. I finally found time to revisit this elusive destination. So close and yet the access is somewhat limited. You will meet locals who encourage others to cross the shallow waters anytime. Based on personal experience and the many rescue stories thatContinue reading “Eagle and Gull Islands Revisited”

The Meeting of the Waters: Cat Bird Seat to Experiencing Tidal Force

Visitors to the Bay of Fundy’s Minas Basin usually hear about “The Highest Tides in the World” but unless one witnesses the tidal bore forging up a river, the incoming tidal speed, force and volume of water remains an abstract idea. In Parrsboro we are very fortunate because there is one beach where one gainsContinue reading “The Meeting of the Waters: Cat Bird Seat to Experiencing Tidal Force”
