Our stop at Beluga Point was one of the highlights of our trip! As a dad who likes to plan things out, I timed our visit for high tide, hoping we might catch a glimpse of some wildlife—and it paid off big time. We were lucky enough to spot a pod of beluga whales right from the shore!

It's a wonderful place to view this unspeakably beautiful part of nature
It is all too easy to pass this and other stops by when going through the area. For non-locals, it's especially important to take time to do this, because it's not necessarily easy to get to this place and this is one of the most awe-inspiring sites that a person could ever witness, so it shouldn't be missed, just to save a few minutes.
Stop. Drink it in. Then stop at the next exit nearby and do it again. It has a centering effect...
