Really enjoying the videos on these remote beaches of the southeast part of Cape Breton. Also appreciated the lesson on the drumlin. If 2025 is anything like 2024 for content on this channel, we're in for a treat.
I too am certainly looking forward to 2025 , because I’m heading to many places I’ve never even heard of, and definitely never visited. Hoping to discover some new gems. Almost seems like most people here have a top 5 and just keep going to the same 5 places. (I was guilty of this until recently) Happy New Year Wayne!
Thanks for the shout-out, I always love watching your videos. You have inspired me to spend more time traveling around the coast of Nova Scotia visiting the beaches less traveled. My wife and I love getting out and beach combing and huniting for sea glass 🌊.
Sam could be Sam Yackamachuck ( I tried with the spelling). I met Sam when he worked for a large logging operation that was based in that area during the !970's and 80's. While not a professional logger he would lay has hand to most anything that needed to be done. A handy person to have around a logging camp. Always with a smile on his face he would greet you with "How's it going buddy?'

I never new it was called that, I discovered that beach when I was looking at buying some land on Crooked Lake Rd. but the lack of cell service made decide against it. Definitely one of the best kept secrets of the area. Pre-pandemic I don't remember there being a single home there.
Tides that day below. It looks like you were there early afternoon so the tide was probably about halfway out? Tides from Fourchu - Tide Station 00595 I like the logo on the Thumbnails, it looks good. 2024-10-20 (Sun) Time ADT Height (m) Height (ft) 04:36 0.14 0.5 10:23 1.30 4.3 16:48 0.11 0.4 22:50 1.39 4.6
It’s a definite possibility! Sounds like the cherry on top. When I first moved here I was given a book as a gift called Memoirs of a Lightkeeper's Son: Life on St. Paul Island - are you familiar?
South shore has some great beaches. This one isn't the best, for sure. Logo is great! I have something about low point I can share with you that not many people will have. If you would like to use it, let me know where to send it!

It’s a wonderful pass time… beach combing :) You get fresh air, vitamin D, and Vitamin Sea.
Great video, love the logo. Thanks for giving me another “must sea” beach to add to my list.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the feedback on the logo. Happy New Year!!🥳
@ to you too. 🥳
Nice logo, it was a good change..
Thanks for the feedback. Happy New Year to you.

So many places to visit in Cape Breton. Would you consider a trip out to St Pauls Island?
It’s a definite possibility! Sounds like the cherry on top. When I first moved here I was given a book as a gift called Memoirs of a Lightkeeper's Son: Life on St. Paul Island - are you familiar?
South shore has some great beaches. This one isn't the best, for sure. Logo is great! I have something about low point I can share with you that not many people will have. If you would like to use it, let me know where to send it!
Oh cool, thanks, shoot me an email about Low Point - would love to hear it. CapeBretonBeachLife@gmail.com (not case sensitive)
