This is the Atlantic side of Cape Breton National Park. Lots of ocean trails and also pull offs with sweeping ocean views. The day opened with a dead battery in the van. With the help of a jump from another camper and a great service station we were ready for the day two hours after we discovered the problem. The service person was great. Wish he was located near us! Lots of friendly helpful people to start the day.
The first hike was Middle Head Trail. Nice ocean views on both sides as the trail went out on a long point. This started at the Keltic Lodge which is a large old hotel. Next was White Point Trail which went out on another point. This one was wide open with short bushes and more of an open field look. Great ocean views the whole way. At the end of the day we went to Black Brook Cove. This has a number of hiking trails and also a large sand beach. We went on the Coastal Trail. Another great trail along the ocean which seemed to be the theme for today. There is a river and waterfall that comes into the side of the beach. After the hike we read books on the beach and watched the waves role onto the beach. Just before sunset we walked to the beach at the campground. This is the Broad Cove campground right in the park. It has a long nice beach. We could have spent a half day here. Maybe next time!
