Passing many lookout points we took many photographs and then stopped to walk along a boardwalk over a bog with its many frogs and insect eating plants. It was a very interesting ecological area. We continued, driving through places like Pleasant Bay and Sugar Loaf Mountain and arrived at the Cabot’s Landing National Park with it’s 4 mile long beach around the Aspy Bay.
Leaving the beaten track we discovered a quaint little fishing village called White Point where the residents work 2 months of the year as lobster fisherman and then spend the rest of the year relaxing or looking for other odd jobs. I counted 11 boats in the harbor which is about the total number of households in this tiny out of the way place.
Passing through Ingonish and the beautiful St Anne’s Bay we were happy to be heading home after our ten hour journey. We rewarded ourselves with a wonderful fish barbeque courtesy of the halibut given to us by the Jim and Teresita.
