It looks like a tropical paradise but it's actually #CapeBreton's #MarbleMountain! Its white sand beach and turquoise water are the result of a marble quarry that started operating there in 1869.
Here's the story of this beautiful site!

Crushed stone was pulled into the water by waves, making the beach white.
Because marble has high pH, it keeps the water at #MarbleMountain soft and clear. This lets you see the white sand underneath better, making the water look turquoise.

In fact, the marble's pH offsets damage from acid rain and helps keep the entire Bras D’Or Lake healthy.
In 1868, Nicholas Brown of Prince Edward Island happened upon a substantial marble outcropping in the area.
