👍👍 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...

👍👍 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.

👍👍 Beautiful! Got there with the tide out and amazing huge beach, sand was so fine and soft on the feet. Unbelievable how much beach was exposed with the tide out. A must see and check out nearby Smugglers Cove

👍👍 An autumn stroll on this beach is good for the soul. Easy access, parking, port o potty, beautiful white sand, interesting sand formation to the far west of the beach. On this day, we had the the beach to ourselves. It's a lengthy stretch to walk on, very quiet. Lots of sea treasures to be found. Ve...

Thunder Cove Beach

👍 Absolutely lovely beach, and had the most unique red stone ‘geography’ which made for a lovely morning walk. A couple of things is that parking was tricky, and getting down the the beach is too - it’s right in front of many private cottages with many signs. Clearly there’s a lot of debris falling pr...

👍👍 Beautiful beach!!! Parking is limited, but I’d you go early it isn’t a problem. We went because of all the pictures of the beautiful blue green waters but in a cloudy foggy morning the ocean is a little less colourful then expected. But exploring and beaches and relaxing on the white sand was wort...

👍👍 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...

👍👍 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...

👍👍 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...

👍 This beach is not bad but when i was about to get into the water, there's like a lot of rocks that kinda burned my feet on the bottom but when i got into the water, the water feels nice at times but the water is cold at times as well. This beach is kinda worth it.
