点评:We recently stayed at Campobello Island (An Island Chalet, a great place if you love charming waterfront cottages in a beautiful setting, and peace/serenity) ... anyway, I digress ... at first I didn't think we'd make it up to the point in time because low tide was at 6:30 a.m. and you only have a few hours to traverse the sea floor from the parking area to the lighthouse. But we were lucky. Got there at 8:45 and the person at the station said we had an hour but be back by 10 (or else get swept away in the incoming tide or stranded on the other side for 8 hours). So we decided to go. This is not for everyone. There are risks .... steep ladders, slippery rocks covered in seaweed and I'd say at least 30 feet of elevation change to deal with. But once over there, it was worth it to take photos of the lighthouse. The hike over and back took us about 40 minutes (we went super slow because of the slick conditions) which left us about 20 minutes to explore around the lighthouse. The tides are some of the most extreme in the world on this part of the world and 20-30 foot tides are common which I still have a hard time getting my head wrapped around. Bonus: while we were there we saw a humpback whale breaching in the bay in addition to several Minke whales. What a treat seeing them from shore. Word got out in the community that the humpbacks were there and even the locals came down to see them. A wonderful time we had.
翻译:我们最近住在坎波贝洛岛(一座岛屿小屋,如果你喜欢风景优美、宁静祥和的迷人海滨小屋,这里是个好地方)......总之,我跑题了......起初我认为我们不会及时赶到,因为早上 6:30 就退潮了,你只有几个小时的时间从停车场穿过海底到灯塔。但我们很幸运。8:45 到达那里,车站的人说我们有一个小时的时间,但必须在 10 点之前回来(否则会被涨潮卷走或在另一边滞留 8 个小时)。所以我们决定去。这并不适合所有人。有风险......陡峭的梯子、覆盖着海藻的湿滑岩石,我想至少要应对 30 英尺的海拔变化。但一旦到了那里,拍摄灯塔的照片就值得了。来回徒步大约花了40分钟(因为路面很滑,我们走得特别慢),这样我们就有大约20分钟的时间在灯塔周围探索。这片区域的潮汐是世界上最极端的潮汐之一,20-30英尺的潮位很常见,我至今都难以理解。意外惊喜:我们在那里的时候,除了几头小须鲸,还看到了一头座头鲸在海湾里跃出水面。从岸上看到它们真是太棒了。社区里传开了座头鲸出现的消息,甚至当地人也来观看。我们度过了一段美好的时光。
