Discover Summer in Nova Scotia

Have a Beach Day

With over 50 beaches in Nova Scotia, there is no shortage of places to build sandcastles, fly kites, beachcomb for shells and seaglass, take a surf lesson, play in the waves, or just walk barefoot in the sand. Unwind with the rolling waves and breathe in the salty air as you stroll along or simply relax with a good book on Nova Scotia’s long stretches of sandy and cobblestone beaches.
