White Point Beach Resort opened in 1928, right on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in Nova Scotia. It has a 9 hole golf course, tennis and volley ball courts, surf shop, kayak rental, paddle boats, walking trails, and much more.
Although we have visited the resort a few times, I did not take the photo which shows the main building and outdoor swimming pool.
Unfortunately, there was a devastating fire in November 2011.
Last Sunday, we headed to White Point. We approached the ocean from White Point No 1 Road and walked across the golf course to the stony beach.
Some houses look as if they are almost built right on the beach.
I particularly like this huge boulder balancing on the large pebble.
The sun was blinding as it sparkled on the ocean.
The last time we were here at this bay, there was a good surf,
and I took lots of photos of crashing waves and rocks.
This time, the sea was not so dramatic, but several surfers thought it was worth the effort.
Some paddled out to try to catch a wave.
It seemed that there was enough of a surf for some to get going, even if it was just for a short while.
As we walked around the bay, we looked over to where the resort building had been. The green administration building was visible and the shuttering was ready for the concrete of the new hotel.
At the resort everything seemed silent at the ocean cabins,
and the woodland cabins.
We didn’t even see any of the bunnies that normally hop around everywhere, so I’ve added one of my library photos with Louise feeding them.
According to the web site, White Point is planning to reopen in November of this year.
There is a lot of construction to be done before then, but I am sure the resort will flourish again.
