Past the halfway mark. Yay!
Yesterday I said I’d be posting a Hidden Gem today. In hindsight we decided it didn’t quite fit that category. But there will be some to come in the future.
Maximeville Shore Road Beach
My apologies to those who know the proper names for the beaches.
Where there are no beach signs I’ve taken the liberty of naming the beaches for my own points of reference.
This beach is in Maximeville and it’s on Shore Road so that’s how I named it.
If you read my last blog post you might remember that I mentioned that this beach doesn’t seem to be located where it’s indicated in the North Cape Coastal Drive guide. Now that could be our fault as we don’t know the area but it’s listed as #9 between #5 Cape Egmont and #6 Cape Egmont but we found it after #6. But who knows? Maybe we went down the wrong Shore Road. But if we did we were glad.
To get there you walk down a grassy hill but be careful, it’s difficult to get down. There were a few people walking on the beach but for the most part a very quiet, private beach; good for some wonderful rest and relaxation time.
Here:
- dirt road
- small amount of dirt parking
- no washrooms
- unsupervised beach
- red sandy and rocky beach
We’ve found so many beaches down roads previously unknown to us and here’s another one. Again I have no idea what it’s called so I’m calling it:
Cimetiere Road Beach
A lot of sea weed
If you’ve been following my blog you know we love to drive down roads just to see what’s at the end. What was interesting here is there’s an old cemetery along this road.
As you can tell from the photos it doesn’t appear to be a great beach as there’s a lot of seaweed. I have no idea if it’s always like this or just today.
Here:
* dirt road
* no washrooms
* unsupervised beach
But
Across the road from Cimetiere Rd is a Memorial Park. The sign says “In honour of our Acadian and Canadian soldiers“. It honours WW1 and WW2 Acadian and other Canadian soldiers. The park is built on the spot of a former church, and has several memorials, as well as benches in a park-like setting.
Rocky Point Road St. Chrystome Beach
Once again I give a name to a beach. Forgive me those who know it’s real name.
Down another red dirt road.
There were several ways to walk down over the dunes to get to this very private beach.
It looked like there was some sort of old wooden structure at the end of the spit.
Here:
* dirt parking
* no washrooms
* unsupervised beach
* red sand and rocky beach
See you tomorrow.
