Travis and I rode to Powells Point Provincial Park yesterday. It's about 16km each direction. We had a great time at the park, but sadly had some bicycle problems along the way which made the bicycling part of the trip sort of miserable. I look forward to going back in a few weeks without the bike problems!
Powells Point Provincial Park is part of the Northumberland Straits. It is the warmest salt water beach in Nova Scotia.
Those a little snails all over the stone. There was a part of the beach where there was 10,000s of them!
There is a starfish and a crab in the photo
Another starfish. I was hoping to find a dead/dried one for our Etsy store, but only found live ones. This little fella was alive and just waiting for the tide to come back in.
There was a part of the beach that was covered in 100,000s of mussels shells. I've never seen such a thing!
This is an European Green crab. He is an invasive species and is causes a lot of trouble along our coasts. There was piles of them on the beach, but thankfully the seagulls seem to have figured them out and were eating them.
A hermit crab
So many shells, barnacles and snails!
A huge snail! Sea snails and much bigger than the land snails we normally see!
Travis and I :)
