Glad you enjoyed them! Dominion will always be a big part of who I am, so I was happy to be able to showcase it a bit. I hope more people discover them as well from the town! :) Thank you for checking them out!

Thanks! The drone is still a learning experience, but I think I'm getting better with it each time I give it a go.

I've definitely heard of Dominion beach but had no idea it hosted so many events!

Seaside Daze is still an annual event in the town, but back in the 80s/90s, the Beach Party was a monster. Easily 20,000 people there for it!

It hasn’t hosted events in a very very long time. The population dropped quite heavily over the last 25 years and the NS government makes zero investment in it.

@@JamiefromHali I mean, money gets poured into the beach every year or so to try to rebuild the beach, rock wall and stuff to try to hold off the inevitable. But it's going to eventually just disappear, sadly, and nothing can really be done in the end to prevent that.

@@wanderbeard i grew up spending much time working and playing at the beach. It has gone through many changes over the decades but it always seems to repair itself over time. There's not much you can do to change that. The dunes move around both on land and under the water. One big thing ive noticed since i was a youngster there is a lot less grass. The grass seemed to slow the wind and water erosion. Maybe if there was more grass planted it would help.

I’m old enough to remember the beach before they built that ugly power station.

Yeah, my dad remembers when there was a whole drivable road down the beach on the backside. Couldn't get much more than a bicycle down there now, if you're lucky.

@@JamiefromHali Sounds about right. We moved back to Dominion in '89 and it was just around that time that things on the beach started a sharp turn downward.
