Enjoy a Nova Scotia vacation at Barrens at Bay any time of the year!
A Nova Scotia vacation or weekend getaway in the Fall, Winter or Spring of the year offers many rewards. Nova Scotia is beautiful at any time of the year; the vibrant colours of fall, fresh greens of spring or the glistening snows of winter. So why not consider a Nova Scotia vacation at a time of the year when the pace is a little slower, when life is a little less rushed. While everyone loves Nova Scotia in the summer, other times of year offer less tangible rewards: peace, solitude, romance and a special beauty many visitors never get to experience.
Nova Scotia Fall Vacation in all its glory!
Nova Scotia has a magnificent fall season. The strong vibrant fall colours of the turning leaves offer a stunning backdrop for Nova Scotia touring and hiking. The barrens and its low ground-hugging vegetation turn scarlet and offer a magnificent contrast to the rocky outcrops. Guysborough County, which is quiet at the busiest of times, offers one the opportunity to walk the coastal beaches in total solitude.
The big clear skies offer a glorious panorama for star gazing. The cool fall nights lead to warm and comfortable days. Whales, dolphins, geese and ducks all begin their fall migration to warmer southern climates. Watch them fly in formation overhead or frolic in the bay in front of the cottages.
The Glistening Romance
of a Nova Scotia Winter
A Nova Scotia winter vacation has its own charms. Watch raging winter storms while snug inside the cottages, with the woodstove keeping the chill at bay.
The winter weather can be variable but there is always something to do - skating on the lake, cross-country skiing, trekking through the back woods on snowshoes, knowing that the snug Lake House awaits. Get out your novel and sit peacefully reading inside; a full vast distance from your regular life.
In extreme cold, the bay ‘smokes’ and the ocean spray caps the shore rocks and frosts the trees. Winter ducks bob in and out of the frigid water and bald eagles winter nearby soaring overhead.
Experience new life on a
Nova Scotia Spring Vacation
Winter slowly melts away. May brings the first of the new growth. The forest floor abounds with spring flowers and tree buds are bursting and each day offering a new delight. A spring vacation in Nova Scotia has many benefits; some positively mouth watering. It is the local lobster season and you can watch from your bed as the boats pull their traps. A trip to the wharf is a treat where you can pick out your evening supper. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets mark the lengthening daylight that heralds the arrival of spring. You certainly won’t be the only ones enjoying a Nova Scotia spring vacation as Minke whales make regular appearances. Their distinctive ‘blows’ can be heard around the property. Watching them gently surfacing never ceases to impress.
