Calling all sea glass enthusiasts! 👀

We just learned the International Sea Glass Association hosts an annual festival that includes awards for best finds.

Big Tancook Island’s shoreline is ripe with sea glass treasure, with rare blues, reds, yellows, mauves, as well as bottoms, stoppers and pirate glass, found often … if you know where to look.

Check the comments for photos of treasure found here, and reach out to book your very own sea glass tour. Your prized piece is just waiting to be found on our shores!

It’s a top-off Jeep kinda week! 🩵🛻🩵

With temperatures reaching upwards of 40 degrees across Nova Scotia, a friendly reminder that it’s always cooler on the coast 🧊🧊🧊

Come on down! Ride on the top deck of the ferry, then with us, and feel the cool sea breeze as you relax and take it all in 🌊🌊🌊

👀 See Shelley’s recommendation from her tour last week. We had so much fun with these ladies!

Happy Monday, All! ✨
