St Mary's is a district, south of Digby, on the Bay of Fundy, facing Digby Neck (more on that later). Comprising 7 villages and some beautiful beach's. It's population of about 2,600 rely on fishing and boat repair. It's beaches go from about 25 feed wide at high tide to 1/2 mile at low tide. As a result shell collecting is supposed to be very good.
We took the 70 mile trip, but all we found on the beach was couple of clam shells and a lot of rocks. We walked along the beach at low tide the day was overcast and the temperature was in the 70's.
We took the coast road on the way back, traveling through at least 10 small towns, each one of which had an amazing church. This is a bilingual community with french at the primary language. The larger churches were Catholic, some amazing structures, given the small congregations they hold. It was a great road trip.
Some of these structures date back to the 18th century.
On to the whale boats.
