Beach Meadows Beach

We went exploring the other day, along the Lighthouse Route. Specifically, we travelled Road 331 from Petite Riviere west to Liverpool.

One of the best spots we found that day was Beach Meadows Beach. I can only find one reference to Beach Meadows in the "Doers and Dreamers" 2008 Travel Guide (a listing for a guest house). There is a brief mention in the Motorcycle Tour Guide of Nova Scotia. (way to go guys!) (Both of these publications are excellent references for tourists and if you're planning on making a trip you should order them)

I guess everyone wants to keep the Beach Meadows Beach a secret. And I'm not surprised. It is spectacular!When we were there, it was quite foggy. We guessed we could probably see 200 or 300 feet. But it was also sunny, and quite warm. There were some people swimming and some people sitting on the beach, but not many.Maybe the fog kept them away?But it was a wonderful beach for walking. And I'm always happy to avoid the crowds.So, if you're traveling on the Lighthouse Route make sure you take a detour off for this spectacular beach!
I couldn't resist taking this photo of a fern growing in one of the car park's posts.
