We went to this beach on a rainy day to walk along with it and see the waves and storm. Very little parking - only four spots. It is also a makeout point as we encountered two cars full of teenagers fooling around in them. The boardwalk to the beach is beautiful. It is so sandy and would be perfect in the summer. It stretches as far as the eye can see. It rivals Wasaga in Ontario. It was nice for a long stroll along. Even in the rain and storm, it was beautiful to see the crashing waves and to walk along it. A must see if you are in the Halifax area.

Fabulous family friendly beach with sand and waves. Carpark is only tiny so people park down the side of the road, which makes for quite a trek sometimes! Long boardwalk to the actual beach as well.
If you are with young children and an extra adult you can drop them off and have the driver do the walk only but strongly advise taking a backpack or two with everything you need!
There are no facilities at all at the beach or in the carpark so go with swimsuits on and toilets used already!
Take all food and water for the day as there are no shops within walking distance either.
Despite all of this, it's still worth going! Honest!

As a result of my 30+ year employment, I had the pleasure of travelling all over NS and have visited dozens of our world class beaches. IMO, Conrads is one of the best. Actually it's 2 beaches and both are sand from one end to the other and at any period in the tide cycle. Only negative is the lack of adequate parking.

Another great Nova Scotia beach. Maybe not as well known as some of the bigger ones around. The limited parking combined with the smaller size beach give it a lower rating .

This beach is difficult to get to as there is relatively no parking. It's really nice and with the parking restriction it isn't busy. It is especially nice in the evenings for a nice sunset walk on the beach.

This is my favorite beach in the Halifax area. Sandy (unlike Lawrencetown), gentle waves, nice rocky area with a more secluded sandy beach on the other side. It can get quite busy during the summer, but you never feel like you are on top of anyone else. The only downsides for me are the parking (tiny lot, so I usually park along the road) and all of the off-leash dogs (popular with dog owners, who often do a lousy job of wrangling their dogs).

Absolutely no parking. Be ready to carry your stuff for a long walk. No washrooms and no places to get food. It’s a great beach but it’s best to know about the lack of parking and washrooms before you go.

Lovely beach with great sand and sandy sea bottom near shore. No facilities and parking very limited. Be prepared to walk in with gear and walk out with your beach gear-and your trash! My husband picked up nearly a full bag of litter thrown off the boardwalk...a serious shame in the middle of an exquisite wooden boardwalk over wetlands and tall grasses. The beach and area get 5 stars--litterbugs get minus zero! Plenty of room to spread out safely during Covid-19 and active waves are lots of fun for all ages.

The PERFECT beach to walk your dog! Great spot at low tide! Not much parking but worth the extra walk!

Took my niece and her friend. Beautiful sandy beach with minimal crowds. Typical cool Atlantic waters but so refreshing on a hot day. Loads of fun👍👍
