Day 5: Battery Provincial Park & Point Michaud Beach Provincial Park & Isle Madame

We actually had a camp fire at Battery Provincial Par, which has HUGE sites. We could have put 3 tents and a kitchen shelter on our site. It's very pretty near St Peters. You can see St Peters from the park but it's such a small quiet town that even though it was full festival in St Peters, you wouldn't hear a peep at night. When we got up we decided to go to Point Michaud Beach Provincial Park. THe beach was ok, but it was incredibly windy and not sunny, so since it wasn't perfect beach weather for him we decided to take a scenic tour of Isle Madame.We drove around to Lennox Passage provincial Park, and also to Pondsville Provincial Park. Then we stopped in Arichat at the cannon look off before going back to Battery Provincial park.
