It was one of those mornings when you woke up looking out the window and let out a deep sigh. "It's still foggy", you think. "Didn't the weather man speak of clear sunshine today?"
And after your breakfast you venture out, in my case with our dog. You drive down to Southern Head and you can hardly see the road in front of you.
But nearing the beach you notice this slight golden light behind all that fog. A ray of hope - maybe. Of course, my dog doesn't care. She ventures along, sniffing here and there, picking up a plastic bottle and buries it in the soft sand. Rounding Southern Head we are looking down Raccoon Beach. I start picking up some round stones. They are wet and their colours are just beautiful.
Suddenly my dog let's out one of her deep growls. She is looking out towards the water. What's there? I can't hear anything. There seems to be just fog. But she isn't letting up.
There! Now I can hear a splash. Something moves in the water. A seal? Or did she hear the distant blow-out from a whale?
It's too foggy to find out for sure, but Dixie listens intently. She even barks a bit.
Finally, calming down, Dixie takes up checking out the crab shells again, and we begin our return walk. Suddenly I feel a slight breeze. It's the Northwest the weather forecast had predicted. A soft sunshine appears on the cliff side.
When getting back into Herring Cove, the sun breaks through. In a matter of moments, the fog moves off Deep blue water appears across the cove. The beach - light brown with a slight yellow tinge. It's low tide now. Soon it will turn again and 25ft of water will again wash over this beautiful beach.
It is safe to say that Campobello is currently having a great summer. Even though the Bay of Fundy is still the big natural air conditioner, island visitors have been enjoying record-breaking temperatures. Yes, there is some fog some mornings, but that's to be expected, as all that warm air moving up from the south also carries a lot of moisture, which turns into fog when layered over the cold water of the bay. But fog is also beautiful.
Wonderful sea breezes are contributing to the feel of having vacation. We have even seen adults taking a short dip into the Bay of Fundy.
And it is not too late to enjoy summer on the island. August has just begun and continues with wonderful island days filled with enjoyment and fun.
be with us on a tour now and "rock around the beach". We got wonderful smooth rocks here for everyone.
The views from Friar's Head are stunning. And when you have completed your van tour there is still a whale watch tour you can try.
Also we visit both Light Houses.
At low tide take a walk over to the Head Harbour Lightstation. Or stroll through the Roosevelt Park compound and enjoy world-class gardening.
There is so much to do, so you better make sure to allocate enough time to really enjoy the whole island. Remember we are always here to help you enjoy Campobello the best we can. Go on TripAdvisor and read about what other people have experienced. Soon, you will be one of them.
Have a GREAT SUMMER!
