Beachcombing is a favourite activity of mine and there's no better place to indulge in this hobby than on the long, weather-battered beaches of Cape Breton. I've found many interesting items over the years, the most interesting being a piece of an old ship that washed ashore at Dominion Beach in a big storm.
While looking out my window one evening, I spotted a blinking green light on the beach across the bay. Unable to identify it from my house and being driven crazy wondering what the source of the light was, I trekked along the beach one night to the spot where the blinking was coming from. It was a buoy that had come lose in a storm and washed up onto the dunes.
Almost anything I find on the beach serves a purpose. Whether it be an old lobster trap that's turned into a makeshift seat from which to watch a beautiful sunset or a giant seashell used as a soap dish. Many people make crafts with the treasures they find on the beach. If anything, the often misplaced items found on the island's beaches make great subjects for photos.

Some people like to do interesting things with rocks at the beach. |
