Lawrencetown Beach is well known for it's surfing and I like to spend time there, relaxing on the rocks and watching the surfers. My oldest has talked of wanting to learn, so we've decided we'll take some lessons next summer and try it out.
Big storms bring big waves and bring out the more daring surfers. With Hurricane Irene approaching, waves were reported to be getting big. So my oldest and I headed out there for the afternoon to check it out. (Please note: Please don't ever go near the coastline during a storm. This is very dangerous and many people have lost their life doing so. We were there approximately 48 hours before the storm hit.)
It is very humbling to sit and watch Nature's force. Even in it's fury there is beauty. I love to listen to the water rush up on the rocks, and then trickle back down into the ocean.
While Irene tracked further inland and spared Nova Scotia the worst, the waves were reported to be about 20 feet. We were there a few days after the storm and the info sign reported big waves and dangerous swells. Not for the faint of heart.
