Seaside cottages are what I prefer. This beach is one that my relatives on my Mother's side have had a cottage at since the 1970's. Its grown from a few small cottages with outhouses to some very large houses that are lived in all year round with phone and cable lines...and indoor plumbing. The shoreline was larger but constant water erosion and higher water levels have taken away around 50 feet of shoreline. About ten years ago many cottage owners had shore protection installed (hemlock railroad ties or stone) and this has worked.
The bridge above is Confederation Bridge going to Prince Edward Island from New Brunswick and is an impressive drive. You can't see over the side unless you are in a large vehicle. When I was young it didn't exist so we took the ferry across. It lights up at night but not enough to distract from the stars. As you can see by the above two pictures, its an impressive place to stay.
I have many great memories of the times spent at this cottage and this may skew my opinion of whether lake or seaside cottages are better. To that I say bring on the lobster, mussels, and clams!
