To commemorate the discovery of the Spanish explorers in 1972, the British named this particular shore, Spanish Banks. It was known simply as Pookcha by the Native Americans meaning 'the back of the rising whale', Spanish Banks is now a wonderful retreat for those who wish to escape from the hard pace of city life. The beaches are blessed with long, wide sandy stretch of land. If you go during low tide, you could almost imagine reaching the middle of the bay. Going out west, the beach narrows into a rocky swath which is barely visible during the high tide.
