Taylor Head Provincial Park

Amazing spot but be careful. Sometimes maps/the national park website will say it's open when it's not!

This is a beautiful beach and has some great hiking trails. There are a few outhouses and changing rooms if needed. Parking lots have trails that lead to the beach.

Best beach in the province. Quite possibly the coldest water though. Worth the drive and the walking trails are great as well.

Beautiful beach. Barely anyone there mid July. Lovely park around it. Rickety road to get to beach parking and long too. But no biggie! The kids loved it. The boardwalk was great, too. Highly recommend!

This beach is a tropical looking paradise right in NS. Just outside The Halifax/ Dartmouth area near Sheet Harbor. Quite a drive into the beach area bit well worth it. Some of the greatest sunset views in the evenings on the way back out the road. Bathroom facilities clean and right off boardwalk by parking. Lots of parking and picnic eating areas. Water tap for washing feet and stuff off in a grassed area just off the boardwalk as well. Small but pristine, white sand turquoise water beach. Waters are clear and calm as it is in a sheltered cove. One end has a rock ridge which is off limits due to preservation of piping plovers. Lots of beautiful birds in the evening as well. Blue herons, seagulls, piping plovers, sand pipers...
Awesome
