Soley Cove approximately 2 Hours and 15 minutes after high tide 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, justContinue reading “Hot and Humid Beach Hike: Summary in Three Videos”

Soley Cove at Early Light!
This week has been fantastic for early light tours! My clients from Michigan booked this tour after seeing the “Keep You Daydream” video feature of the tour I conducted. Who could have known that the mid-June excursion with Tricia, Marc and Caleb would generate so much interest in a short amount of time? We arrivedContinue reading “Soley Cove at Early Light!”
Oh light, glorious light…
I never grow tired of wandering on the ocean floor at Soley Cove. I have conducted four separate tours there over the past seven days. After Sunday afternoon’s rainy experience today’s excursion topped all previous tours! We started our excursion two hours after high tide and were treated to stunning skies and ever-changing light. TourContinue reading “Oh light, glorious light…”
All it takes is an invitation…
…for Nova Scotia’s Wandering Wilsons to come to Parrsboro. Heidi from Pleasant Street Inn extended the invite, provided a stack of local information and the Wandering Wilsons rolled into town for the weekend. It was my turn to shine after Sunday lunch. We met up at Soley Cove for a family tour. The rain ponchosContinue reading “All it takes is an invitation…”
Dramatic Landscape after another Downpour…
What a fantastic multi-generational family group to show around our stunning area. The request was for a walk on the ocean floor. It met with their expectations! And I was so relieved that the rain ponchos I invested in were very helpful during the initial rain showers. This well travelled group from Florida and RhodeContinue reading “Dramatic Landscape after another Downpour…”
Of Eagles and Herons…
I spent most of the day at Soley Cove with two adventurers today. While I captured more great images of Jurassic Aeolian Sandstone cliffs and sea stacks what truly demanded my attention was the performance the Bald Eagles put on for us. We counted three individual adults and one juvenile taking advantage of the warmContinue reading “Of Eagles and Herons…”
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 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”
Soley Cove Photo Tour
Guiding a tour in Soley Cove is always a highlight in my schedule. Leading a photo tour is even more special because I get to don my photographer’s hat and view the cliffs through a different lens. J. and L. contacted me from their home in Alberta several weeks ago to inquire about the availabilityContinue reading “Soley Cove Photo Tour”
Hired to guide… thanks to a Google search!
This was definitely a first for me! A travel influencer family from Florida found me on Google while planning their Nova Scotia itinerary. I had forgotten that there would be filming… I had agreed to that in the contact email but assumed it would be all about the landscape. Well, it was about the landscapeContinue reading “Hired to guide… thanks to a Google search!”
Soley Cove: Even More Amazing…
…without the stiff breeze and rolling waves from two days ago! Just look at the perfect reflections as the tide slowly receded. We headed out thinking we were two lonely beach explorers… until a large group of hikers (I counted 20 individuals) appeared from nowhere noisily shouting, their voices echoing from the aolian sandstone cliffs.Continue reading “Soley Cove: Even More Amazing…”
First Time Visitors to Soley Cove
Spring arrived accompanied by strong winds today. It was the only day that worked to fit a Soley Cove excursion into the schedule. The ancient landscape never disappoints! The light was variable and yielded some unusual and unexpected images. Once again, Soley Cove spread its magic and my tour participants were truly impressed by theContinue reading “First Time Visitors to Soley Cove”
Photographer’s Dream Tour: Soley Cove
A low tide hike from Soley Cove to Redhead is memorable and worthwhile in any season. Yesterday was perfect! After the previous night’s dusting of snow we were rewarded with azure sky dotted with puffy clouds… and a stiff breeze! Nothing windproof clothing can’t deal with effectively. The afternoon light on a winter day bringsContinue reading “Photographer’s Dream Tour: Soley Cove”

Return to Soley’s Cove Beach…: Ultimate Destination – Redhead Formation
My heart always beats a little faster when we drive past this beach in Economy. I visited and hiked this beach three times last year.

Pictures really do speak aContinue reading “Return to Soley’s Cove Beach…: Ultimate Destination – Redhead Formation”
