Cheticamp, Nova Scotia

After we set up our camp in Cheticamp, we decided to drive around the town…..or actually across the bay from the town!

Cheticamp and St. Peter’s Church

The little town of Cheticamp certainly is home to a large church!  The spire of St. Peter’s Church has long been a landmark to fisherman and sailors returning after a trip or a long day at sea.  The town runs the length of the coastline, at least the commercial part of town. What that means is that just about all the restaurants in town offer a view of the water!  One other interesting note about the town – it’s home to Elizabeth LeFort, a legendary hooked rug maker. There are studios in town offering classes, too.

Enragee Point Lighthouse

As we drove around the small rural road (read “dirt”) past the lovely view of the town, we came to the lighthouse on the point of the island on which we were driving.  The best view of the lighthouse is from afar, as there is a fence around the entire lighthouse area.

View from Enragee Point Lighthouse

When I turned around from the lighthouse, this was the wonderful view!  Even tho the day was sunny, there was a low cloud bank that road just on top of the water.  The tiny yellow flowers in the meadow like grass add a bright pop of color, too.

Sheep Grazing at Enragee Point 

As we started back on the small road we drove out to the lighthouse, we saw these sheep grazing peacefully in the meadow.  Talk about an idyllic setting!

Enjoy!
