From the town three long bridges stretch across the Halifax River to the strip of wooded land whose eastern margin is washed by the tides of the ocean. This wooded peninsula is laid off by pleasant streets and adorned with many parklike grounds and luxurious winter homes built by Northern wealth. It really consists of a series of sand ridges or dunes, with low swales between, built up by the ocean tides and winds.
