Brier Island is a great spot for the outdoor enthusiast. Two short ferry rides @ $7 CDN each for your return trips. After a whale watching excursion we did a little poking around. After a visit to the general store for gas & directions we set off to find Pond Cove beach. There is a small painted sign on a shed pointing the way down a dirt road. At some points it seems to be nothing more than a footpath. Finally, we reach the beach! It is helpful to know the tide times to be able to fully explore the beach at low tide. It is quite rocky at points but lovely sand beach beyond. Lots of interesting rocks, shells, & sea birds and we even spotted gray seals. Plenty of photographic opportunities to capture maritime life at it's best. Spend the day & enjoy exploring!

Visited this beach several times while staying at the Cape View Motel and cottages. The beach is sandy and very clean. My family enjoyed the sandpipers and the waves. The beach has a slow slope making it wonderful for playing in the waves or enjoying your time with small children. There were very few people there during our visits. There was also a place you could rent surfboards as well as a snack bar, both near the road just off the beach. A very pleasant experience.

This is a great spot for swimming, building sandcastles, beachcombing, or all of the above! Whatever your pleasure may be, you will find it at Pond Cove.

The Balancing Rock trail is a well marked and laid out trail to get from the road out to the coast where the Balancing Rock is. There are frequent wooden boardwalks to keep you above the swampy ground. There are lots of signs that detail the flora and fauna of the region and give you information on the area. The climb down to the viewing platform has been updated and has a great staircase with railings which felt safe in the misty weather. The hike out to the rock takes about 15-20 minutes so it is not too taxing on all manner of ages and conditions. They have done a super job making this natural landmark accessible to the public.
