Immersed in Bay of Fundy Tidal Action: Meeting of the Waters

Today was the first opportunity this summer to experience the incoming tide and feel the water rising from my ankles to just above my knees in 30 seconds. We were not disappointed by the action of water swirling around Big Island. It’s always a fantastic experience… the water was warm and the experience most therapeutic.Continue reading “Immersed in Bay of Fundy Tidal Action: Meeting of the Waters”

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…”

Phinney Green in Evening Light…

I was hoping to harvest some dulse tonight. Instead I found a view where heaven meets earth… pure magic! Tomorrow is another day… for harvesting dulse that is. Wishing everyone a peaceful evening, Anna

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!”

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”

Family Treasure Hunting Tour Recap

As “they” say: a picture is worth a thousand words. We spent a productive four hours looking for beach treasures along Wasson’s Bluff and Two Island beaches. We found sea glass, mermaid tears, moon snail shells, agate, quartz, smooth pebbles and colourful rocks!

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!

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”

Epic Lobster Boil at the Beach

Last evening’s lobster boil was scheduled to take place at the beach. I was glad I selected Partridge Island Beach with a couple shelters over the picnic table. I had prepared well but as I drove to the venue I saw lighting… pretended it didn’t happen and carried on. Trying to set the table withContinue reading “Epic Lobster Boil at the Beach”

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

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”

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”

Misty Morning Beach Hike to Clarke Head

The mist didn’t deter visitors to Parrsboro from a post breakfast guided tour. “I’m happy!” and “We would have never explored this beach on our own!” were just two of the enthusiastic comments I overheard while walking below the 200 Million year old cliffs. Springer spaniel Angie was in her element: in and out ofContinue reading “Misty Morning Beach Hike to Clarke Head”
