Beaches

During summer in the Valley, there's always time for a trip to the beach. There's lots of great places to explore the Fundy coast or if you're in the mood for a swim, take a trip to one of our popular lakes.

Aylesford Lake Beach
North River Road

Aylesford Lake Beach is a favourite summer destination for locals and tourists alike. It features a boardwalk, public boat launch, boat docks, walking trails, canteen, change houses, portable washrooms, a playground and more.
Supervised: Yes

Blomidon Provincial Park
Pereau Road

Rising majestically from the shores of the Minas Basin, Blomidon Provincial Park is renowned for its spectacular views. High cliffs, a variety of habitats, striking natural features, abundant wildlife -- and the world's highest tides.
Supervised: No

Evangeline Beach
Evangeline Beach Road

Across the Minas Basin from Kingsport Beach, Evangeline beach has stunning views of Blomidon Ridge. Take a walk and go exploring at low tide or go for a swim at high tide. Campground and motel accommodations are available.
Supervised: No

Kingsport Beach
Route 221, Kings County

Red sedimentary cliffs carved by continuous erosion rise from the beaches to the east. The dramatic 12 metre tides produce very large sand and mud flats at low tide. Go for a swim, or enjoy a snack from the nearby cafe.
Supervised: No

Lake George
125 North River Road

This supervised freshwater lake features a sandy beach with a designated swimming area, nearby change houses, a small picnic area, and a public boat launch. It's not uncommon to have a visit from resident duck families during your time at the lake.
Supervised: Yes

Lumsden Dam Pond
Black River Road

A popular spot for swimming in the summer, Lumsden Pond was created when Black River was dammed and a section of the river valley was flooded. Lumsden Pond Provincial Park is adjacent to the dam and offers areas to picnic and swim.
Supervised: No
