The Nova Scotia Beach Scene



At the request of -Andrea- (colorfade) in Australia, I'm posting a beach photo. Today we drove up the Lighthouse Route along the coast from Lunenburg to Halifax, and ever-patient Ken stopped every time I wanted a photo. The sun was toasty and every little stretch of sand was filled with people, even though it was a Friday. We drove into the village of Hubbards and followed the road to a beach, the parking lot looking for all the world like California on a summer day! On a previous summer day, we had the beach completely to ourselves, so I don't know what made this day so different. From kids jumping off the platform to building sandcastles and getting a tan, and me, taking pictures of it all, there was something for everyone!
@colorfade This one's for you...at your request...

Oh thank you Louise! I love seeing how different beaches are from country to country and even different regions within the same country. Sounds like its definitely a popular spot!...you and ken sure are living the good life ;)

It looks like the perfect spot for fun. The people seem to be enjoying the day, and it does look like quite a familiar spot.

It appears to be a perfect weather day for fun at the beach! The tree-lined shore is so different from the beach landscape I'm accustomed to along the Carolina coast ~ beautiful!

That's beautiful! I love the rock piles. Gotta love a man who will stop for every photo opportunity :).

Great shot of all the beach activity. However, I could not imagine being in that cold water! I applaud their spirit of summer!

@chard @seattle It's not as cold as you might think...the air temp hovered around 90 degrees! Depends on how deep the beach is..some are quite pleasant when the sun's beating down...warmer than southern California ! The Gulf Stream isn't far off shore here on the east coast...

@Weezilou Thanks for the info I had no idea... now that beautiful Victorian Home you pictured a couple of days ago looks even more inviting! Ha!

It definitely looks like a northern beach. I like the 2 pictures together to give us the overview of the crowds.
