miles of beach and warm water

this beach takes a couple of extra minutes to get to, but it is a hidden gem. one of the best in Atlantic Canada, in the warmest waters you can imagine and clean as can be. and the best part is that it never crowded

Beautiful beach

Took a couple of walks on the boardwalks over the salt marsh to the beach on this weekend. The beach has beautiful sand and many pieces of driftwood.

Absolutely Beautiful Beach

Looking for a fairly private quiet beach? This is it! A bit "out of the way" drive from town...but not a far distance to walk from your vehicle. Outdoor toilet facilities available. Beautiful sand bar at low tide and lots of beach to explore.
