We have to head out to Liverpool on Saturday so thought we would combine the trip with a chance to go to a good beach.

We will be driving down from Halifax, can anybody recommend any.

Many thanks.

Hirtles beach and crescent beach are both very good beaches, nearby to Riverport, not too far of the highway

Try this puppy....my favorite...small, usually not very busy and the water great at this time of year......Bayswater Beach Provincial Park

If you have the time stay off the 103 and go on the old Highway 3 - its delightful. Queensland Beach in Hubbards is small but exquisite

I can second that, it's a bit of a cove so water is slightly warmer. We went to that beach every day when we stayed at Hubbards although we did drive along the coast slightly and the water was freezing and is was impossible to go even paddle in the sea so we went back to Queensland.

If you are able whilst in NS I'd also recommend the beaches around Pictou, lovely sand and very warm sea as the sea is shallow.

we went to Martinique Beach last weekend, I was warned that the water would be cold as its the Atlantic (I prefer Melmerby near New Glasgow as its warm water) and it was! My feet were so cold they hurt but I got in anyway as others were already in and I didnt want to appear a wimp
