Incredible Seaside Beauty

Nowhere else in North America will you find such a selection of spectacular, unspoiled, uncrowded beaches as on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. In addition to our own incomparable, kilometre-long beach, you might want to visit some of these other beaches in the area just to prove to yourself that we aren’t exaggerating.

Hunts Point Beach

Just a five-minute drive from White Point, this white-sand beach has a view of several islands and is close to a working wharf where local fishermen dock their vessels year round.

Location: 3.1 km from White Point

Summerville Beach Provincial Park

Summerville offers visitors yet another beautiful white-sand beach a short drive from White Point Beach Resort. This beach is great for swimming, sunbathing or a leisurely walk, with a picnic park, changing facility.

Carter’s Beach

Crystal clear water and beautiful white sand. It is a beautiful beach but you’ll have to get there early to grab a parking space!

Location: 20 km from White Point

Kejimkujik National Park Seaside Beach

An authentic Atlantic experience awaits you at Kejimkujik Seaside. Kejimkujik Seaside is a large reserve of 22 square km of coastline. The park and beaches are on the same peninsula as Carter’s Beach.

Lockeport Crescent Beach

Well worth a 40-minute drive from the resort. Lockeport Crescent Beach is considered to be one of the most attractive in Canada, and was once featured on the $50 bill. Over a mile long and made up of soft white sand, it is also home to large flocks of sandpipers and other shore birds during the summer.

Ramps provide easy access and interpretive signage describes the history of the beach, while washroom and shower facilities are available at the Visitor Information Centre.
