Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia

by Dave Jackson

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.”

Review of Bondi Beach

by Dave Jackson

Bondi Beach is one of Australia’s if not the world’s most famous beaches., Bondi Beach is as much a lifestyle choice as a place. Bondi Beach draws the visitor, captivates them and forges memories of sun, surf and sand. Bondi Beach is a wide 1 km long strip of golden sand arched around Bondi Bay and pinched between Ben Buckler to the north and Mackenzies Point to the south. At the southern end of the beach is a public seawater ‘rock pool’, home to the famous Bondi Icebergs Club who derive their name from swimming even during the colder winter months. The menu at Nick’s Bondi Beach is an exciting reflection of the Australia has to offer. Nick’s Seafood presents fresh, uncomplicated food with a nod to owner Nick Manettas Mediterranean heritage.
