Fauvel Beach

.

 Fauvel Beach, 
on the Chaleur Bay,
Gaspé, Eastern Canada.

Fauvel is between Bonaventure 
and New Carlisle....
I grew up here and have a lot of
childhood memories of this beach.

We played on this beach often as kids.

The left side looks like a face

Fauvel Lighthouse
We had a lighthouse nearby.
The fun we had walking up
 the beach to the lighthouse.
Our beacon in the night, with it's light
shining in our upstairs window. 
In the 1990's it has been
 moved to Bonaventure to
a more picturesque place
 where tourist can enjoy it.

In 1827, My 4th generation,

In the Fall, high winds, huge waves

 dirty the beach with seaweed.

Logs are installed to prevent land erosion

A lot of memories here.
before those logs were installed.
There used to be a whart/dock
This was my Grandparent's Lawrence and
Margaret Astles' beach.

Bonaventure Beach

I am fortunate to live in a part

 of the world with Beaches.

 (Baie des Chaleur)

 on the Gaspe Peninsula .

"Nothing soothes the soul 

quite like a walk on the Beach"

Bonaventure beach, .
The buildings on the right are Chalets for rent.
There is also a camp ground nearby.

I took these pics at low tide in the Fall. 
Tourist fill this beach in the summer.

Above: At low tide children enjoy this Island.
 (The strip of land in the water) 
My grandkids named it Starfish Island. 
They search and find Starfish under the rocks 

Sun glistening on the water

In the Fall, strong winds dirty

 the beach with Seaweed

There is a nice marina

 here with lots of sailboats.

A beautiful day for sailing on the Bay.
 New Brunswick across.
