Fernando's Picks

🏖️ Beach Picks and Drinks


Beach Pick: Kejimkujik

I had the pleasure of working with Piping Plovers at Kejimkujik Seaside for part of my summer several years ago. I would make my way to the beach for 6 am to survey their habitats and behavior while watching for coyotes. The morning fog gave me a 15 ft radius of visibility. It felt like I was on my own private beach. If and when I go back, I would enjoy the 2 Crows AC Light Lager. Wine would be nice, but if I’m on a beach I want to be conscientious of the glass. Instead, I’ll opt for one of my favourite local beers. Light, easy drinking, and portable!
