One of our favorite places is Tor Bay, the provincial park on the Marine Drive along the Atlantic Coast near Larry's River, where the ocean stretches east to Europe. As you can see, there are wide beaches curving around beautiful inlets. The water is so clear and blue, you'd swear you were on a tropical island. Very inviting.
The inlets are separated by rocky outcroppings, where tide pools abound.
And the marshy spruce woods behind the beach is filled with lichens and these pink flowers (some kind of heath or heather?). The park features a long, meandering board walk through the woods, parallel to the beaches. There are picnic tables and little kiosks, so we sat in the sun and ate lunch.
You can also see how crowded this was on Saturday May 29! We only saw three couples there the entire time and - true to Nova Scotia hospitality - one of them struck up a conversation and soon took our phone number to invite us to dinner in the future.
