Coastal waters

Cove Crescent beach


Dublin Cove

In our adventures from White Point Beach to Lunenburg was as stated below by Rick Johnson, one of the most picturesque and what I had thought much of our riding would be like, as we stayed near the coast of Nova Scotia.
"Zippidy-doo-dah riding if you had the wind on your butt, but alas we had in our face. Gusts were supposedly up to 40 kph. Aside from that little annoyance, today's ride was one of the best of the trip. I had pictured in my mind that Nova Scotia cycling was through a series of small picturesque seaside villages and that's exactly what it was today. Even got a ferry ride. The bakery/lunch stop in Le Have was great. We started our ride in drizzle but it dried out and the last half of the ride was, temperature-wise, most pleasant. Topped the day off by going down to the UNESCO designated harbor of Lunenburg chuck full of sailing ships, whale watching tours and a place to buy and savor a milkshake. The old buildings are all seem to be color coordinated so the area has quite an eye catching image. The historic district was not overrun by tourist trinket shops, but alive with restaurants, shops selling crafts and arts. Lunenburg is a tourist trap for sure, but one I feel comfortable being trapped in."
