Amherst Shore Provincial Park in Amherst Shores, Nova Scotia
is by far the best places that I have ever camped at. The park offers 42 sites nestled in
the woods, plenty of places to hike, showers, bathrooms, firewood and ice for purchase,
and internet access upon request. Add to that the immensely friendly staff,
beautiful star gazing, and surrounding scenic drives and this is a place I can
say with absolute certainty that I will be seeing again someday.
In short, Amherst
Shore Provincial Park has everything you could possibly need and a few things
that you will not likely find anywhere else. What is the rarity that I am
referring to? That would be none other than the Northumberland Strait.
A five minute trail walk from your campsite will lead you to this
beautiful unsupervised beach which boasts the warmest water north of the
Carolina’s and is home to the most breath taking low tide. Now you might be thinking, “Wow, a low tided
how absolutely boring,” but imagine walking out to a full body of water and
then, within a matter of hours, the water recedes more than a half a mile leaving
an endless number of tide pools and clay
as far as the eye can see.
When I first arrived and took a walk out to the water I
felt immediately relaxed. Not a soul in site and with miles of gorgeous
coastline it was a fantastic place for a picnic, beach walk, and swim. Hour later I enjoyed the
most shocking contrast in landscape I have ever seen. It was the perfect way to start my Nova Scotia adventure.
