Additional Surfing Infos |
| | One can find steep fast breaks, excellent right and left point breaks, along with offshore reef and shoal breaks all along the southeast coast, making Nova Scotia's largely untapped surfing opportunities prime for colonization.
The best season is August to late November when numerous hurricanes and tropical storms pound the southern coast. Water temperatures can reach 20 degrees Celsius (low 70's Fahrenheit) and the air remains warm until early October. Wetsuits, 4/3 full suit is best, are suggested as water and air temperatures can fluctuate. Surfers are hard pressed to find any crowds, thus adding to the beauty of it all.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
If you're into having the whole beach all to yourself, then this is definately one you should checkout. It is fairly isolated but still within an hour of one of Nova Scotia's larger cities. Don't expect much of a night life beyond your beach fire though. There are some provincial park campgrounds around that offer more chances to meet people. |
| |
General |
It is a beautiful place. |
