👍👍 Great park with beach as well as playground and splash pad! Bathroom building, free parking and even a bike repair area. Wish we had more time to spend here it was a great spot on a sunny day! And close enough to so many shops restaurants and bakeries/ice cream places

Sandy, 7.8km stretch known as North America's largest official naturist 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...

👍 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...

👍 Amazing beach to enjoy the ocean, go for a walk or hang out around a fire. I wish people would stop trying to burn their garbage (including beer cans) because it just leaves a total mess behind and it flows out into the ocean... Also, just bring your garbage home. The tiny public bin can't handle hu...

Vibrant in warm weather, this wide, curved beach offers swimming, volleyball courts & picnic areas.

👍👍 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 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...

Long, rocky beach with kid-friendly tide pools & views of the bay & distant mountains.

👍👍 2022 June 4.5★ A very nice beach with amazing soft sands and fairly clean waters. Backdrop of the bluffs gives this place a great view to enjoy the city. Given the size and how busy this beach is, it's kept quite clean. Kudos to the city staff for keeping it this way. Parking is limited and may onl...

Waterfront park featuring a beach, washrooms, concessions, a play area & a tea room.

👍👍 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...

👍 The beach itself is great for families with a safe swimming area separating boats from people. Parking can be a challenge so get there early. Bring snacks and plenty to drink as there are no stores that are convenient to walk to. There are some restaurants and a peach kiosk selling simple food and b...
