Dollar Lake Beach

Beach

4.90 (34 reviews) (~37.5 km from centre)

Hirtle's Beach

Beach

👍👍 A lovely long beach. Great for long beach walks. A bit rocky getting to it, but there is also a lovely boardwalk. Part way down there is a place where there is a quieter beach going into a bay. So two beaches back to back. Was not too busy at all despite the parking lot being full because it is such...

Crescent Beach, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia

Beach

👍👍 A favourite spot - the only drive on beach in NS which makes it more accessible to those with mobility challenges. It's nice and long so a good spot for a walk or run. Can be a tad windy sometimes.

4.80 (373 reviews) (~80.13 km from centre)

Lawrencetown Beach Provincial Park

Beach

👍👍 My favourite beach in the province. Nice long beach with good wave and good breeze that no mosquito or horsefly bother you at all. Sunset at the beach is absolutely gorgeous. The beach is certainly rocky when you first walk down from the boardwalk, but if you walk further down near the water during...

Bayswater Beach Provincial Park

Beach

👍👍 Fantastic beach! Sand. White sand. Few rocks over the majority of the beach. When swimming, the ocean bottom is sandy. There's a bit of seaweed only on the ends of the beach. Warm waters as far as Atlantic coast waters go. Washrooms. Canteen. Lifeguards. Loads of fun. Picnic park and lake across t...

Rainbow Haven Beach

Beach

👍👍 Had a great day here today! The sand is lovely and the water was quite refreshing. The kids loved diving in the waves and it was nice to have a beach that has lifeguards on duty. I highly recommend this beach. When we were leaving it was starting to get busy, so if possible get out there mid mornin...

Houston's Beach

👍 Beautiful views. Great place to go for a walk on the beach. If people would pick up after their dogs, it would be perfect!

4.70 (124 reviews) (~87.98 km from centre)

Micou's Island

Beach

👍👍 I grew up here, learn to swim here, my Dad was the caretaker for the family in the late 60's and 70's before we moved away! So we had the cottage and island to ourselves during summer break.

4.70 (104 reviews) (~27.88 km from centre)

Blue Beach

Beach

👍👍 This is a great beach. Awesome vista, lotsa shale rocks and great expanses. My advice: bring water, mud shoes, drinks and a shelter if sun is blazing as it was when we were there. Note that the beach is rocky and the “sand” is shale sand. This is a geologically important place (in the world) so do a...

Conrad's Beach

Beach

👍👍 This place is great! The beach is sandy and expansive, dog friendly and the water's not too choppy. If you want a good walk, the beach extends a fair ways, changing to rocky and then changing back to sandy, with plenty of seashells to spot. The sea spray is refreshing and there's only a few patche...

Fox Point Beach

Beach

👍 Good area for scuba diving. Went there with torpedo rays to do the open water course and get a padi certificate. Not any special aquatic animals or creatures down there but a safe place to dive for sure. Visibility is also not ideal. Good beach for paddling, kayaking and water sports. Also couple be...
