Our first stop was Cleveland’s Beach where we spent about two hours, playing in the sand and surf, and where we saw the Saint Margaret’s Bay Bathing Beauties . I told Ann about this outing being on the web as Family Fun in Halifax —- no way said she! This isn’t Halifax (technically it is)and your friends from a cruise ship can’t walk to here (Cleveland Beach) well no I guess – how about Family Fun in Nova Scotia ??

After the sandwiches, drinks, and lots of sand on Justin (oh yes! I broke his sand pail to top off this stop!!!) we headed to Graves Island Provincial Park near Chester, NS for some more R&R . A church group plus a number of families were taking advantage of this wonderful park of the south shore.

Looking for a romantic getaway from the big city for you and your sweetheart? My girlfriend and I discovered these great oceanfront cottages down along the south shore of Nova Scotia just outside the lovely little town of Shelburne. The cottage we had was very nice… vaulted ceiling, fireplace and jacuzzi style bath for two… did I mention romantic? We were looking for a place to go away from the kids and everyday life and Boulder Cove delivered. Very comfy and nicely secluded with amazing views of the beautiful Nova Scotia coastline.

Only a couple of hours from Halifax along a beautiful coastal highway it’s great for a weekend getaway, or something longer if you wish. Lots to see and do nearby and an awesome restaurant just minutes away at the Charlotte Lane Cafe. After that… some alone time at the cottage with my sweetie… fireplace, jacuzzi, glass of wine…

Needless to say, we’ll be back.

West Bay Club is a short 5 minute drive to the Turtle Cove Marina which is the main boating center for Turks and Caicos Resort. At ‘the pond’ you’ll find several casual restaurants right on the water, as well as scuba and charter fishing operators, a video rental store and a water sports supplier. It’s the ideal place to sip on a cool drink and watch the mega yachts come in through the cut from the open ocean.

In the Turks and Caicos, there are plenty of activities and things to do to occupy your time, or you can choose to simply do nothing at all and enjoy the tranquil setting that Grace Bay Beach provides.

For those of you in need of a little stimulation, here are some ideas for things to do at our Turks and Caicos luxury resort:

First start with water sports (and there are lots of them!) and our unique marine environment which makes us a top spot for scuba divers, fishermen, wind surfers and other aqua-adventurers. Check out the list of things to do in and around the water here. We can recommend our favorite operators for any kinds of water activities you can imagine, and help with the details of your adventure. Many operators will pick you up right at West Bay Club, with some even coming right on the beach.

Nestor Falls Fly-in Fishing Outposts pride themselves on being one of the best, most remote operations in all of Ontario, Canada. We are the only outfitter on the lake. Numbers speak for themselves, with many groups reporting over a 100 plus fish per day. Kay Lake has two short portage lakes: Derby connected to Kay by a small river and Anstey which offers you a chance to go for a short 150 yard hike where you’ll find a boat and motor on the other side. With all of these areas you have to fish and explore you will always find a secluded spot with lots of fish. For a break from the Bass & Muskie fishing why not do a day fly-in for Walleye.
