Partridge Island – Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers…

Special Days!!

We had a couple whirlwind days last week. On Thursday I hosted two travel industry consultants from British Columbia hired by Tourism Nova Scotia. There was an instant connection. It is always wonderful to get insights from industry professionals who can assess one’s business efforts and suggest new practices to streamline behind-the scenes operations. ThroughContinue reading “Special Days!!”

The Bubbling Tides…

…also known as Glooscap Grandmother’s Cooking Pots along Partridge Island Beach draw crowds every year. The Fundy Geological Museum conducts tours all summer long and if you are at Partridge Islands two hours before or two hours after high tide you can witness the phenomena yourself. I am always in search of new information andContinue reading “The Bubbling Tides…”

I Get Excited…

…when I find out a friend who has lived in Parrsboro longer than we have and they have never been to a popular look-off. My friend Robyn and I decided to get out before the weather changed. Exploring Partridge Island was the goal. Robyn had never navigated the trail up or down. I am confidentContinue reading “I Get Excited…”

Hike NS Fall Hike #2

I am leading free hikes this fall under the Hike Nova Scotia umbrella in conjunction with the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark. Last Saturday was my second hike, the Partridge Island Eco-Loop was our destination. I had several last minute cancellations due to illness. In the end I headed out with Larry and Caleb. Caleb isContinue reading “Hike NS Fall Hike #2”

Trail Scouting Expedition

I am leading a guided hike for Hike Nova Scotia on Saturday. Today was the day to check on the trail. There were no surprises along the beach leading to Partridge Island. The weather was spectacular and the trail was deserted. At the start of the trail the earth was wet and I had toContinue reading “Trail Scouting Expedition”

Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island

It was my first time since Tropical Storm Lee had pounded our shoreline. And the changes I saw today were surprising. It really drove home the fact that the erosion of our shores is relentless. My goal this morning was to access the back beach at Partridge Island, it was the last day of veryContinue reading “Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island”

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…”

Just Another Afternoon at Ottawa House Beach

Enjoy! Happy Saturday, everyone! We continue to be blessed with smoke-free skies and clean air!

The View from Partridge Island…

… at sunset looking toward Cape Sharp. Good night, world.

Island in the Mist…

The goal was to get up early to time our circumnavigation of Partridge Island just so. The end result was that neither Adrienne nor I are into holding on to ropes while slithering over seaweed covered rocks. We walked to the rock outcropping from each side instead (and called it “goal accomplished) while experiencing someContinue reading “Island in the Mist…”

Rock Hounding in the Bay of Fundy

Exploring the beaches has become my passion. Sharing the area with visitors is the next best thing. This week I am spending time with a young rock hounder from Quebec. Our first stop was Wasson’s Bluff shortly after sunrise on Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon we ventured to Five Island Provincial Park to explore the beach aroundContinue reading “Rock Hounding in the Bay of Fundy”

After Dinner Walk at Ottawa House Beach

After a rainy Saturday the sun was a welcome sight today. I got out for two short beach walks. The walk after supper at Ottawa House beach was glorious with a nice breeze across the water. What a way to conclude a weekend. Ready to end May and start June this week! Stay tuned forContinue reading “After Dinner Walk at Ottawa House Beach”

Partridge Island Beach Rocks

Ottawa House Beach is a popular destination for gentle walks. Earlier this week I arrived at a time when the tide was receding. Glooscap Grandmother’s Cooking Pots we’re bubbling, seaweed and kelp adorned the pebbles along the high tide line. The basalt cliffs beckoned… I headed in their direction and discovered a whole new beach…Continue reading “Partridge Island Beach Rocks”
