Lawrencetown
Beach
Crest the hill at Lawrencetown and you really know that you've arrived
at the ocean, when you see this magnificent beach stretching out
into the distance. A popular place for surfers year-round, the scene
will take your breath away.
Martinique Beach
A visit to the longest, white sand beach in Nova Scotia will make
you think you're in the Caribbean -- except most of the time, the
beach is wonderfully devoid of anyone else. Enjoy the peace of a
2 mile beach walk where the only sounds you're likely to hear are
the wind, the waves and the haunting cry of seagulls.
Taylors Head Beach
One of Nova Scotia's Signature Parks, beautiful Taylor's Head is
a nature lover's paradise. Ten miles of headland, several secluded
beaches and enough hiking trails to keep you busy for days. Just
west of Sheet Harbour.
