SANDY POINT LIGHTHOUSE
On Canada’s East Coast in the little Municipality of Shelburne, Nova Scotia a dear little lighthouse sits stoically in the middle of the harbour. Between 1873 when it was built and 1989 when it was de-commissioned it was the guiding light for seagoing vessels entering and exiting Shelburne harbour.
Now it is part of a wonderful community centre and park and at low tide a sandbar stretches toward it and you can walk out to visit it up close.
An iconic reminder of the proud Maritime heritage that exists along the south shore of Nova Scotia.
It is a romantic spot to view the most spectacular sunsets and a joyful spot to spend a sunny summer afternoon.
For the young crowd the lighthouse is also a Pokemon gym site.
Places
Halifax Citadel National Historic Site
Halifax, Nova Scotia
At the tippy of top of city of Halifax sits the Halifax Citadel historic site. Filled with rich history. The cannon that sits within the fortress still booms a noon day signal that can be heard, and felt, in Halifax. There is a Project Bookmark Canada interpretive panel along the ridge celebrating the work of esteemed author Alistair Macleod – No Great Mischief. The views from all points of the citadel are spectacular and worth spending time looking.
