It sure is! White Point offers an abundance of recreational activities for each of the four seasons. Our beach is a great place to be in the middle of the summer, but sitting by one of the big, beach stone fireplaces with a hot drink in hand is a great place to be on a snowy winter’s day as well! Christmas, New Year’s Valentine’s are all perfect excuses to head here for a visit too.

While Vacation Homes have a check-in of 4pm and check out of 10am, all other accommodations have a check-in of 4pm and check-out of 11am. Arriving early? You are welcome to enjoy our recreation facilities and programs. Feel free to linger after checking out and extend your stay! Please note, late check-out times may result in additional fees. To confirm your check-in/out times, check your confirmation letter.

To truly enjoy a stay at White Point, you should be staying at least 2 nights while travelling within Nova Scotia – there’s just so much to do, or simply do nothing at all and let the ocean surf sounds work their magic on you. Typically, throughout the year all of our accommodations (rooms and cottages) on weekends (Fri. & Sat.) do have a minimum 2-night stay. Having said that there are sometimes one-night Saturday night stays available – if you are looking for that specifically we invite you to call us to inquire at 1-800-565-5068.

During July and August, there is a minimum 2-night stay within our 1 – 8 bedroom cottages. Again there may be some 1 night stays available, please do call us to inquire if you have a specific date in mind. You can check availability in our online booking system anytime, but again please note that it does not include all of our accommodations, so if you don’t see availability for what you are looking for – call us, if you want to come and stay with us, we’d like to make that happen!

When you make your reservation, the following deposits apply:
For reservation of one to four nights, we require a one-night deposit including tax.
For reservations five nights or more we require ½ of the stay including tax.

Wild bunnies seem to have always lived in and around White Point. Many years ago, we had been babysitting a few bunnies when they seemed to have been enticed by the others around them to ‘escape’ their pen and, as they say, nature took its course. As the bunnies continued to grow in numbers, we invite guests to feed them. While they have sufficient food sources here at the beach (they love clover, rose hips, and hostas!), bunny food in bags is provided, giving the bunnies a good reason to stick around. Today, the bunnies are a permanent fixture of the resort grounds. Bags of complimentary bunny food are always available at the front desk. Be sure to check out the book I Spy a Bunny by Judy Dudar which is based on White Point! Pick up a copy in our Gift Shop.

Yes, our oceanfront cottages are open in the winter and are fully winterized with either propane or wood-burning fireplaces and stoves. Our entire property is open throughout the winter. We offer a variety of theme weekends, special events, and festivities on holidays!

Dramatically! Our full sand beach gives way to an incredible cobblestone beach in the winter months. An incredible 4 – 5 feet of sand washes in and out with the changing of the seasons. We consider it Mother Nature’s ‘facial’ for our beach!

The temperature of the ocean water varies during the summer months. Most often the temperatures in June and July are between 8-12 degrees Celsius (46-55 F), and in August and September between 12-18 degrees Celsius (55-64 F). If you wish to swim for a long period of time, we would recommend the freshwater lake on our property or the indoor or outdoor pool.

We do have towels available from the indoor pool deck. However, they are not beach towels – you may want to bring one from home for your stay. While we do have loungers on the pool decks and out around the property on the lawns, we do not have loungers on the beach itself due to the tides that rise twice daily.

This is a favourite time of the year – the surf pounds harder and the white sand is gently washed away, leaving behind a stone beach (the sand begins returning in the spring reaching a full white sand beach again in August). With the coastal breezes, keeping the two to three inches of snow we tend to get is difficult. Occasionally we are blessed with a winter that gives us enough snow to snowshoe and ski on the Golf Course.
