July 15, 2017. Western Head, Nova Scotia. White Point Resort.

The place was busy.  Today was the day to go out for lunch, and as Pat and Mal had not seen the rebuilt dining room, Dave suggested we eat there.   The old place burned down almost two years ago.  The fire was spectacular and was all over the news and internet.   The fire could even be seen from Western Head, although we were not here at the time.   The new place is beautifully done, with modern touches but still with the stone fireplaces and of course wonderful views of the ocean.

When the place reopened, they hired a new executive chef which turned out to be a good move,  as the food is interesting and unusual but not weird.   When son David was searching for a caterer, he phoned the new chef, who called David immediately and made a few suggestions, which proved to be successful.  We are using the same caterer this summer, the third summer in a row.

The parking lots at White Point were full.  A wedding was being held later in the afternoon.  The lounge had many folks sitting in comfortable chairs and chatting.  Many people were on the beach.   In other words, The White Point Resort is thriving.   To get into the resort, you must drive across  two fairways of the golf course, which brings it's own charm and danger.  Fortunately, the food is the best thing at White Point, followed by the beach.  And the new building is beautifully done.  Even though we ate there a week ago, we were delighted to return.   According to our friend Mary, it is the best place to dine in the whole county.  High praise indeed.
