Big Glace Bay Beach
Public beach
👍 Minus one star for the potholed track from the main road and only being able to park at the side of the track (although some people ignore the signs and drive onto the beach). Gorgeous beach, mostly clean, a bit of trash where people park and can't be bothered to take the trash with them sadly. Dogs...

Alouette Lake South Beach

Glad for my suggestion to be accepted by Google map. Now it’s easy to find the way to the Alouette Lake South Beach. Love googl...

Pangburn and Melvin Beach and Cliffs - UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve Amazing Place
Hiking area
👍 You will want to visit on a clear day as the parkway offers many overlooks. Great trails and a nice drive are worth the small entrance fee. Take time to get down to the beaches, it's worth the walk.

Rutherford Beach

👍👍 I would like to give a bad rating to keep others away. Awesome roadside stop,might head back there instead of spending a crowded hot day on a shuswap lake. This has shaded area but no beach.

Silver Birch Beach
Public beach
👍👍 Lovely landmark with Toronto history. Used to be an amusement park before WW1 turned into water treatment plant. Fortunately, not too crowded, great views and does not smell. There are various beautiful nooks and beach rocks to sit and enjoy the summer weather and waves.

Outer Cove Beach
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Absolutely breathtaking! It's the spot where Terry Fox collected water from the Atlantic that he had planned on pouring into the Pacific once he completed his trek across Canada. Parking is difficult but it is definitely worth it!

Viewpoint Beach
Public beach
👍👍 One of the best places I’ve visited during the summer 2022. I love the bath we had at the viewpoint beach on top of the golden ear provincial park. I recaptured Avatar movie during some points of this hike. If you are going to this place, bring extra cloth being ready to have a bath at the top and s...

Spring beach resort
Public beach
🫤 Ya sure there's a beach by a contaminated lake you can't swim in. So congested the campers and fifth wheels might as well be stacked on top of each other. Nice views though and the trails are great for quadding
