🌊☀️ WHO SAYS SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN?

If you ask us, September and October are some of the best-kept secrets on the South Shore. 🍂

The summer crowds start to disappear, the days are still beautiful, the evenings are perfect for a beach fire, and here’s the best part… the ocean is often at its warmest of the year! 🌊

It’s the perfect time for a quiet walk along Crescent Beach, an afternoon swim, relaxing in a hammock, watching the porpoises pass by, or simply sitting back and taking in that view. And when the sun starts to set, there’s nothing quite like a fire on the beach with the sound of the waves in the background. 🔥🌅

✨🌌 LOOK UP TONIGHT FROM BUCHANAN BEACH! 🌌✨

One of the best things about staying at Seaside Cottages at Ginger Hill is having Buchanan Beach, our back beach, just steps away. 🌊➡️🌌

Tonight, the sky is putting on an incredible show! 🌟 Six planets are lining up in the night sky, creating a spectacular planetary alignment, and the Perseid meteor shower is also active overhead. 🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐☄️

Imagine sitting on Buchanan Beach, gathered around a warm beach fire, making s’mores, listening to the waves roll in, and looking up as meteors streak across a sky filled with planets and stars. 🔥🍫🌠

No city lights. No traffic. Just the Atlantic Ocean, a crackling fire, the sound of the waves, and the night sky putting on its own show.

This is what nights at Seaside Cottages are all about. ❤️

Stay beachfront. Walk to Buchanan Beach. Light a fire. Make some s’mores. Look up. 🌌

🌊🏄 The Waves Were Calling at Crescent Beach Yesterday! 🏄🌊

Yesterday, a new group of surfers discovered what locals have known for years... Crescent Beach in Lockeport is one of Nova Scotia's hidden surfing gems.

From first-time riders catching their very first wave to experienced surfers sharing tips and encouragement in the lineup, it was another incredible day on the Atlantic. 🤙

📸 There's nothing quite like watching someone stand up for the first time. That smile says it all!

A big thank you to the Municipality of Shelburne Recreation & Parks Department and Jeff Norman from Rossignol Surf Shop for organizing and leading this fantastic Learn to Surf program. Events like this introduce more people to the incredible waves and natural beauty we have right here on the South Shore.

But the adventure doesn't end with summer...

🌊 Crescent Beach is a year-round surfing destination.

When autumn and winter arrive, Atlantic storms send powerful swells toward our mile-long white sand beach, creating exciting conditions for experienced surfers and some of the most breathtaking storm watching you'll ever experience.

Imagine...
🏄 Catching an early morning session.
☕ Warming up with a hot coffee while watching the next set roll in.
🌊 Spending the afternoon photographing dramatic waves crashing along the shoreline.
🌅 Relaxing in a cozy beachfront cottage with the Atlantic Ocean just outside your window.

That's exactly what you'll find at Seaside Cottages at Ginger Hill. Our beachfront cottages are only steps from Crescent Beach, making them the perfect home base for surfing, storm watching, beach walks, photography, and exploring Nova Scotia's spectacular South Shore.

Whether you're learning to surf, chasing winter swells, or simply looking for an unforgettable ocean getaway, Crescent Beach deserves a spot on your travel list.
