David Ford

Great beach.. not crowded. A bit of a hike from the parking. Nice sand.. shallow water goes out quite a ways

Sarmistha Sarcar

Delicious food, good service

Gavin Stewart

One of my favorite beaches to go to in the county. It's usually pretty quiet which is nice. Try to go when the tide is out, though, because when the tide is in the beach is very small.

Elizabeth Grzesik

One of my all time favorite beaches!! Never crowded and the people who do go there are super friendly..and the water is warm!

Sandra Walsh

Was a great experience there for the first time. Was very beautiful and very clean

Erica Spinney

Was my first time visiting this part of the province. Was a lovely day at Waterside Beach. My first time putting my feet in the ocean this summer and it was actually quite warm in the water!!

Amazing place to go nice view of Prince Edward Island

Krista Whitehouse

Great provincial park. Mostly closed in the winter but you can still access it for a walk on the shore. Beautiful views. Worth coming for a walk or a picnic. It has basic but good amenities, such as the toilets and change rooms. Some great geology here as well.

Andy Leeman

Beautiful secluded beach. Nice Sand bar makes some good waves

It was the perfect day for the beach , not the largest or best looking beach location but beautiful non the less , probably won't be disappointed visiting this location.

Meagan Rowlands

Beautiful. Loved it at low tide. Warm water.

Bezean

Very nice beach. Parking is a couple hundred meters from the beach via boardwalk. At high tide the water is very shallow for at least 100 meters out, only up to waist deep but mostly only knee deep until it starts to get deeper. Very nice, fine, reddish sand.

mateo fleet

Please stop in and enjoy this amazing beach. You can walk for km's it feels like. The sand is soft and warm at the top and perfect for sand castles along the water at low tide. With lots and lots of shells and cool different rocks to use.

Susie Reeves

Kerri Morrison

No mess of rocks or seaweed this year, beautiful sandbars and SO many little hermit crabs. Beautiful spot!

I’m from Toronto and visit NS every few years. I’ve had memories of this beach reaching back to when I was a young child, and I’m glad the beach has remained the same ever since. Never any trash, always covered in shells and never any people here. A beautiful hidden gem.

Ben Lesser

Beautiful beach.

Samantha Bergeron

Beautiful. Went there in spring... will be back in summer. Seems great! Beautiful red sand. Change rooms. Didn't see any bathrooms though. Nice boardwalk!

Katie Rideout

Beautiful sand beach with a sandbar at low tide and rocky pools at its farthest reaches. We went for my son's school trip and everyone had a fantastic time. Changed a bit since I was a kid, but still a fabulous beach.

Trevor Gallant

Great spot when the tide is out...never overly busy

Emilie “Mumdum” Swanson

Grew up here and love this beach. Little to no jellies, and nothing sharp to hurt your feet in the water.

Steve Herr

Beautiful spot to watch the ferries crossing between Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. I love just walking up and down the beach finding whatever the tides bring in.

Maribeth Dye

Good swimming at high tide

Shannon Rachel Rafuse

Beautiful beach in Pictou County near Caribou Island. Quiet, clean and soft sand to walk on. Beautiful boardwalk to the small beach, and a view of the PEI Ferry going back and fourth. A perfect blend of being able to walk out a bit before …

Brenda Turple

Our first trip to the beach this year. The dogs had so much fun exploring!

Yash D Srivastava

Was here with family and what an awesome spot to enjoy a relaxing evening watching the sunset. Sandy Toes and sun kissed with family what else can you ask for! The water was really nice temperature, watch out for the mosquitoes and flies, relentless! Make sure to take bug spray and after bite stuff. The beach is open until dusk so we returned around 9pm

Brian Jones

I good beach to visit, not over crowded

karen jensen

When tide is out there are sand bars from one end to the other. The kids have a blast. Outdoor toilets need paper refills and should have a hand sanitizer dispenser.

Wil Sevigny

Anthony Richard

The water was very nice and the beach was very clean

Tyler Benvie

Nice Beach lots of sand and sand bars!

Beautiful beach

Candy Welch

This park has a large wonderful beach with boardwalks from the parking lot to the beach. It also has change rooms only thing missing is bathrooms and a bit more up keep .

A W

Used to be a hidden gem but getting more and more attention. Awesome for little kids because the beach is very shallow. At low tide you actually have to walk out and run after the water.

Cathy Landry

Love this place ....never over crowded!

Alan Moore

Nice and quiet place for a dog walk in November.

C C

Huge sandbar when the tide is out leaves lots of hermit crabs and starfish to enjoy. Nice sandy beach with no crowds has been my experience. This is in the eastern end of the park, don't tell anybody!

El Schavo

This is underrated beach and deserves more attention! It’s absolutely beautiful beach with great views and warm water. Very good for kids, swimming and relaxation.

Heather Manuel

What a beautiful beach! Sandy beach and shallow water for some distance out which is great for kids and dogs. It was very clean! No garbage on the beach or along boardwalk. There are change huts and bathrooms. I think I will be going there today to cool off and watch the PEI ferry cross. A perfect spot to visit this summer!

Rob Clements

First time swimming in the ocean. Took my grandson and we both enjoyed our first ocean swim together! My beautiful wife,sister-in-law and nephew who were also with us had a blast! Beautiful beach and view

Beautiful, peaceful and situated on the road going to Caribou Island which in itself is a beautiful drive, ending up at the lighthouse looking out to Pictou Island and Prince Edward Island.
