The rustic old building was beautiful, with it's huge fire places and leather chairs, to say nothing of the pine flooring and walls. Since 1928, the resort served Nova Scotia well. We made good use of it's beautiful beach, also the restaurants and swimming pool. But last June, the whole building was destroyed by fire although all the cabins along the shore were saved. Today, we four went to the new resort to check it out. Several of the local folks were not pleased with the new building so we were expecting to be displeased.
Dave and Irene, and Ken and I went today for lunch to see the newly built White Point Resort. It is lovely with big windows all along the water side of the new building. There are still two large stone fireplaces surrounded by comfortable leather chairs. The ceilings are high so the whole place is bright and airy. The restaurant is as big as the old one and the bar is much bigger. We four gave the new building a gold star. In addition, the food was excellent. We do not know why the local folks found fault with the new building. Ken thinks they miss the mould...
We had been told that the last storm had removed the sand from White Point beach. We assumed it was an exaggeration but today, even though it was pouring cats and dogs, it was obvious, that when the tide was high, there was no beach, as the water comes right up over the rocks. Last year, there was fifty feet of sand even at high tide. But no more. You can only walk on the beach when the tide is low. Nature is not kind!!
