Caribou/Munroes Island Provincial Park

Reviewed By lizmariecat - Halifax Regional Municipality, Canada

This beach surpasses how it looks in photos. Generous long beach with pinkish/red sand reached by either a handicap path or set of wood steps with railings. Outhouse toilet at top of stairs as well as changing room in the park near parking lot. Gentle surf, clean, but some good sized jellyfish--a seasonal thing. People swimming in water but were mindful of jellyfish as they were big enough to be seen. Big enough for social distancing with ease during the time of Covid.

Waterside Beach Provincial Park

Reviewed By rockie_ns

Caribou Island (where Waterside Beach PP is located) has two of the many kinds of coastal areas you can find in Nova Scotia; light sandy beach on one side, and life-filled tidal flats on the other, within a short (minutes) drive of each other. On the north side of the island, there is a sandy beach with beautiful ripples and tidal pools with lots of hermit crabs! On the south side, there are grassy tidal flats full of little snails, mussels, and even some starfish. I visited at low tide and sunrise, which I would absolutely recommend. Beautiful and quiet (although the quiet might have been due to time of day).
