Beach Treasures and Treasure Beaches

I’ve never been to the beaches of Canada, but according to this article in World News Report, the Top Ten Beaches in Canada are actually the Top Ten Beaches in Nova Scotia!  It looks like this may have come from the tourism board, but they already have me hooked reading their descriptions.  Lake beaches, ocean beaches, pebbly beaches, white sand beaches, beachcombing, rockhounding… They’ve got it all!

“With more than 7,600 kilometers of shoreline and over 100 beaches, there’s a good reason Nova Scotia is home to the best beaches in Canada.”

If you enjoy birdwatching you might want to try Martinique Beach, Mavillette Beach or Taylor Head Beach.

How about a visit to the 1859 historic lighthouse at Margaretsville Beach or fossil exploration on the shores of Cape Chignecto?

If you want a souvenir for your collection you can hunt for sand dollars at Risser’s Beach Provincial Park.
