This was taken on the hiking trail in Freshwater Bay, Newfoundland, during our recent visit. On the horizon, in the centre of the photo, you can see a small bump. That's Cabot Tower at the top of Signal Hill, marking the entrance to St. John's harbour. The small white object below it is Fort Amherst Lighthouse, which is on the opposite side of the harbour entrance, which is quite narrow.

This is the 'barachois', in Freshwater Bay. A barachois is a coastal lagoon partially or totally separated from the ocean by a sand or shingle bar. The water behind the barrier is fed by a brook, so it is brackish, rather than fresh or salty.
