Baddeck Real Estate

I love going to the beach, any beach, that offers  warm sand and cool waters in which to play for the day. Cape Breton is host to many fine beaches, tucked away from the flurry of tourists and mostly known by locals only.  This year,  the weather in July and August was more conducive to being the star locale to ” Singing in the Rain”. I must admit to once or twice having checked my north side for moss. 

 Last weekend was perfect beach weather so hubby and I packed up the car with a days supply of goodies and treats and headed to Mabou. My favourite place to escape in all of Cape Breton is Mabou Mines. The beach is wide and the crowds sparse…perfect! The water was, um…cool. We did manage a dip or two and once your body adjusted to being totally numb it wasn’t so bad.

The day before found us at Frankaleen beach in Bras d’ Or for the hilltop wedding of my cousin Sara Beth and her new hubby Mike. This photo was the backdrop for their nuptials.  Again, an inviting vista to play in with no one tracking your intrusion. So, take in these natural amenities Cape Breton has to offer. If the only sound you want to hear is the rush of the ocean or a sea wren, then visit a Cape Breton beach.  Stay to watch the sunset and you’ll have a lasting image of the beauty our Island has to offer. Enjoy!

Wishing one and all a super day!

PS. Moss grows on the north side of trees and there is no cell phone coverage on Mabou beach…Yay!
