Musquodoboit Trailway trailhead

Park

👍 Great spot for beginner to experienced hikers. Lots of benches along the main drag and parking is decent. My only issue was the lack of garbage cans for dog poop or snack wrappers. There are signs asking you to take it home with you but the trail is littered with poop bags.

Port Hood Beach

Park

👍👍 Parking is a bit of a nightmare when it's busy, but we loved the way it's set up, nice sand instead of rocks and clean. Would pick as one of the top beaches and go as much as possible.

Nelson Memorial Park

Park

👍👍 Fabulous park. We really enjoy our time here. The day-use park is just outside of Tatamagouche on Tatamagouche Bay. We used the park facilities at one of their great picnic shelters with barbecue. There were many families there with kids at the playground. One of the things that surprised us the mo...

Port Shoreham Beach Provincial Park

Park

👍👍 Wonderful seaside beach. Beware, though, this is not the beach to take off your shoes and stroll from end to end. It is very rocky. The sand is darker and smooth, but you need to move the rocks a little to get a nice place for your towel. The scenery is beautiful and peaceful. The change rooms and b...
