Rocky beaches line the Bay of Fundy and the difference between high and low tide can extend about a mile. During low tide we ventured out onto the red clay ocean bottom to forage for clams. For beginners, we start on the beach with the essentials covering safety, paddling technique, the pop-up, and surfing etiquette. In-water components cover paddling, popping up, and reading the waves. Even in the depths of winter, I’ve stood on the wind-blown headland overlooking Lawrencetown Beach (about 25 km or 16 mi east of Halifax) to watch the surfers (definitely in wetsuits!!) skimming along the breakers. The mag describes the province in terms you may need to be a surfer to understand: “Nova Scotia hosts heaps of cobblestone point breaks, not to mention countless mysto reefs and beach breaks.”

Imagine more than 26 golf courses on that island. Imagine vistas of white, champagne, pink and red beaches; or ocean waters extending far, far beyond the horizon. All the spiritual gurus and coaches create an imaginary spiritual world around us.

Prince Edward Island is continually rated as having the best value golf vacations in North America by Score magazine and always has courses amongst the highest rated for playing by various golf authorities. PEI’s golf resorts have accommodations close by and you will have a wide selection of cottages, bed and breakfasts, inns, campgrounds, summer homes, motels and hotels that will fit every pocket book. Prince Edward Island issued 500 sets of these experimental reflective plates (numbered 30-001 through 30-500) at the beginning of 1969. They held up spectacularly poorly to the brutal winters of the island, and were gradually replaced with standard non-reflective plates between 1970 and 1972.
