Came here today in November. Was cold, but what do you expect. There were a lot of surfers in the area jumping the waves! Very cool spot!

White sand beaches - amazing blue waves - and views of the oldest working lighthouse in North America. We were fortunate to visit in early September, so the beach was pretty quite. Plenty of parking on site for all three beaches (potties on site.... gross.... but an option!) Hiking and boardwalk behind the beach area. Everything you need to enjoy a pleasant day seeing Nova Scotia at her finest!

We went to Melmerby Beach for the first time. It was one of the cleanest beaches we ever been on. We looked for sea glass and sea shells. We even seen lots of marine life! The beach was so beautiful and there is so much space to sit and spread out to have a picnic. It's defaintly a family beach. They have showers to rinse off too and near by bathroom facilities. It's one of Nova Scotia's hidden gems. It's defaintly worth checking out!

We decided to take a day trip to Martinique Beach as we had heard so much about it. It's just under an hour's drive from Halifax and the coastal drive portion from Musquodoboit Harbour to Martinique Beach was absolutely beautiful. The road into the park is long and stretches pretty well the length of the beach with parking spots and picnic areas situated throughout. We visited in February so we did have to do some navigating around winter potholes! The beach itself is stunning and goes on for miles and appears to be very popular with surfers (there is a surf shop just outside the park for those who wish to try their handing at surfing the waves). However, we opted for walking along the crescent-shaped sandy shore, flanked by dunes to do some beachcombing near the rocks at one end of the beach. We were quite fascinated by these rock formations and exploring the crevices and water pools. Even at the height of winter, this park made for a wonderful afternoon walk. We look forward to seeing what this beach is like in the other seasons!

Found this quiet spot after eating at Fisherman's Cove. Followed the boardwalk from Fisherman's Cove to this beach. Wide boardwalk that is well maintained and easy to use with a stroller. However, beach access is over bigger rocks leading to sand by the water's edge. We did not find a flat level sandy access to the water. Popular local fishing spot.

It's an amazing beach and the province does a very good job keeping it in good condition with facilities on site. They are all under construction this summer but potra potties have been brought in as a replacement. The beach is very long and very sandy. When the tide goes it recedes a lot and reveals so much more beach. As a bonus a channel on the far right end of the beach has a current that be be floated in to travel down the beach. It can get pretty strong for weaker swimmers but the water is around 4 feet deep. It's a great beach for kids as the drop of the sea floor is very gradual so it's pretty shallow even away from the shore.
