“Kinlock Beach in Stratford PE is dog-friendly. Allow Fido to explore this unique red sand beach below a picturesque red rock cliff backdrop. This pet-friendly secluded bay is an ideal spot to let dogs enjoy the crisp water of Bellevue Cove, but time your visit at low tide and let your canine companion venture out to a wide expanse of sand and clean shallow water.”

 

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: 

"Some call it multi-tasking, I call it doing something else while I try to remember what I was doing in the first place."
