The human stated that W word and our ears perked up. Finally we would get to go on another adventure. We let him leash us up, hopped in the car, and away we went.
We soon ended up in a place called Port Medway, Nova Scotia. We weren't sure what was here, but it sure smelled good. We also heard of a few humans talking great things about a gift shop there while we barked, sniffed, and peed.
There were a few boats attached to a dock. A sight not uncommon in many places in Nova Scotia.
It didn't really catch our interest so we kept going down the road a bit and off to the side.
Of course our path was blocked due to the ocean being around. A great big rock wall had been situated along a Port Medway park area.
A little further down we noticed a staircase with a nice view and a few benches atop it. It was a good place to rest, but we weren't tired so we carried on.
A small cemetery is housed on the other side of the park area, which you can see on your way toward the dock. That got a few sniffs while something else stole our focus.
Another lighthouse. A small lighthouse sits at the edge of the water along the rock wall and park area. It is a pretty spot and far less traffic than Peggy's Cove.
You can see the boat launch area up close and personal too if you wish.
Or get closer to the lighthouse. It is a tiny one in the park, but the human told us to hang on because we might see something a bit bigger soon.
We figured we'd try one of the colorful doors. The humans were supposed to be friendly, but they never came out to see us. Another human talked to us while walking by though. We enjoyed barking at him.
The human wanted to drive a bit farther through Port Medway, but we had to bark at the seagulls atop this roof first.
And we had to get a good sniff of something near these chairs. We were sure a human dropped food somewhere. We couldn't find it though because the human placed us back in the car and away we went.
A few minutes down the road through Port Medway we found what he was referring too. It was the Port Medway, Nova Scotia Lighthouse.
And you could take it from many angles. Just watch the ticks if you go around back. You don't want those on you or your pets. Sometimes it is open for viewing as well. We didn't get to go inside this time, but the human has seen it open and the lady running it was very nice.
A bit farther down we weren't sure the human would make it. That or he was trespassing. Something we never mind as we pee on things. Anyway, the road narrows to the width of a small driveway and you come to a dead end.
It is a pretty dead end with lots of picture taking opportunities of the water and shore.
But once this caught our attention our adventure in Port Medway had come to an end. We knew we were off to Paris. The sign makes it seem so easy to get to Paris from Nova Scotia. Here's hoping we don't get lost at sea. See you in Paris.
Murphy and Milo's Overall Verdict of Port Medway
Port Medway, Nova Scotia is a pretty little spot. The traffic is low and it's like it is off in its own little world. The sights are common to Nova Scotia like fishing vessels, gulls, water, and lighthouses. The smells are fun as we go from here to there. The people were all nice even with our yapping. And there is a gift shop that humans go there specifically for from all over the south shore area of Nova Scotia and beyond.
If you are looking to spend an hour or two in a small town and take in the sights at a slow pace, Port Medway, Nova Scotia is a good place to visit. May not be a lot of sidewalks for dogs to walk on, but the traffic is low so safety isn't bad at all. Be aware of the narrowing road if you explore farther than the Port Medway Lighthouse though. Some vehicles may end up being too big and there are private homes down there.
Also there are plenty of water views to take in along cliffs. Those you can take in while the dogs take plenty of nature whiffs. A fine little spot for a walk and to maybe do a little gift shopping for yourself or others too.
