We went to Prospect Bay this week one night - Blogger has been acting up so pictures have been hard to upload. I think it might've been Thursday night we went. It was good and windy when we went - which is the best weather for going to a place with huge rocks right next to the ocean - big white surfy waves coming in are so spectacular. There was absolutely no buoy booty to be found anywhere along the shore though. Those fan-damned fishermen are taking too good of care to their possessions I guess! Oh well, it won't stop me hunting for them though.
You get to Prospect Bay by taking highway 333 - as if you're going out to Peggy's Cove - but when you're about 1/2 way to Peggy's Cove you'll come upon a sign that says "Prospect Bay" - and you'll turn left and go down a road that has a dead end - at the end of which is Prospect Bay - at the end you've gone too far! Just before you get to the village there's a little side road - Cove Road - turn right there and park near the end of that road - and go straight down the path. And then you can walk along the rocks for a long time. Be aware that there's a ton of ticks at Prospect Bay though - so check everyone over when you get home though

ReplyDeleteYou can access the High Head Trail from Indian Point Lane off of Prospect Bay Road (in Prospect Village) or from Hages Lane (near Shag Bay).
