To the east:
Cherry Hill Beach
"Locals know this beach is a stunner. Cherry Hill's appeal is largely elemental: It offers a direct route to happiness via its empty curve of fine grey sand, exposed water and endless sky. Wonderful beach for surfers or a nice place to walk and enjoy an afternoon."
"Broad Cove has a beautiful little beach. The beach has a nice private sand area, and the cove is partially protected so the water stays relatively calm. With big well known beaches close by this beach seems fairly quite with not a lot of visitors."
"Whether you want to swim, search for sea shells, or just spend the day relaxing in the sun, Rissers Beach Provincial Park offers every kind of recreational opportunity available at the seaside. Some of the features of the park include a kilometre long white sand beach and Interpretation Centre and boardwalk along an inland marsh."
"Connecting the LaHave Islands to the mainland this beach streches out from the shore to Georges Island and provides a popular beach destination for tourists throughout the summer."
