If you love to be at one with nature, Kejimkujik Seaside offers a beautiful place to explore for a day. With beautiful trails, a white beach awaits you and if you are lucky the seals might be waving from the rocks just off the shore.
I recently had the pleasure of a stopover there with a group of travelers. We only had a short time for a stop, so we chose the Harbour Rocks Trail, a 5.2 km hike. But those with more time...and perhaps more energy can try the Port Joli Head Trail for a 8.7 km trek.
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah! This is our crew. (Yes, that's a guy in a tie)
We were lucky enough to get a guided tour, where one of our guides Duncan told us about the Piping Plover. There is a monitoring program being conducted at Kejimkujik because this little treasure is endangered. This tiny little shorebird makes its home among the sandy beaches where they nest. So while we welcome you to enjoy our beaches, be careful where you step. The eggs are well-camouflaged and the babies are even tinier then their sweet little mammas. I wasn't lucky enough to capture a picture so I thought I would link you to this great picture of mother and baby, from our flickr group member Birds Eye Viewer.
Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct is located along the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Pack your picnic, throw on some sneakers, (take off your tie) and enjoy!

As pretty as a picture, it's a Pitcher Plant.
As pretty as they are, these plants are carnivorous!

We're too far away, but these are the rocks where the seals like to play!
