Land and Seascapes
The cathedral
rocks below Kerr's Point is only accessible by boat but is my
favorite swimming hole.
The cliff
at Black Brook is about 150 feet up from the beach, don't go
this way, follow the brook down or up instead. From the cabin
the walk to Black Brook is an easy 15 minute trail, but climbs
steeply afterward.
Here's
a shot from inside the Park on the Skyline trail, that's Cheticamp
Island way off in the SW distance, and the Cabot Trail winding
up the French Mountain.
At Pleasant
Bay Harbour you can buy Lobster and Snow Crab or groundfish right
off the docks in season. Catch a whalewatch, or hire a boatride
out to Pollet's Cove or Fishing Cove to hike home. You haven't
seen Cape Breton until you've seen it from the water.
Gampo
Abbey's "Stupa of Enlightenment" along the gravel road
will give you a doubletake, especially if you happen along at
night and find it lit up by a hundred tealights.
A seacave near Fishing
Cove in the Park. The ocean temps reach the 70s in the summertime!
Really, it's warm water! If the winds are calm late June, July, Aug,
and even early September, it's time for a swim.
