The Beachcombers: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The Beachcombers follows the life of Nick Adonidas, a Greek-Canadian log salvager in British Columbia who earns a living traveling the coastline northwest of Vancouver with his partner Jesse aboard their logging tug Persephone tracking down logs that have broken away from barges and logging booms. Their chief business competitor is Relic, a somewhat unsavoury person who will occasionally go to great lengths to steal business (and logs) away from Nick.
