Yarmouth, Nova Scotia

June 24, 2018

We moved to Yarmouth, NS, something we didn’t do on the 2012 trip we were on. We stayed at Camper’s Haven Park and the owner’s were amazing to work with.

Yarmouth was a pretty little town, the highlight was the Lighthouse! Totally different from the normal little Nova Scotia light, Yarmouth Light is really tall!! We were scheduled to have a picnic, with sandwiches and fixings supplied by the Lightkeepers Café, but we were rained out. I was really disappointed in that because the views from the grounds of the light were said to be beautiful. I had visions of sitting out in our chairs watching the comings and goings while eating lunch. The crew at the Lightkeeper’s managed to squeeze all 43 of us into their small space and keep us out of the rain.

The weather cleared the next day, so we drove around to see the sites. That meant we spent a lot of time near the water, nothing this land locked ocean lover likes more!!

After we returned to the campground, we feasted on a dinner of 1-1/2 lb lobster, prepared by the campground for us. It was wonderful!!

Our Campground for the next few days

Cape Forchu Light

The rock around the light to the shore looks kind of like shale, or it could be thin layers of lava. Whatever it is, it moves, cracks and slides.

More of the amazing rock at the base of the light

Very tall

View from across the bay

Some of the old houses in town

Dinner!!!
