Singing Sands, ocean & smiles!
As a child I spent many of sunny days between the wharf & embarking on the local tradition of the “jump” Returning to the sands for a day, after 23 years. Soothes the soul! My travel sister & friend had never been! We came back the next day! Some places in life are meant to be enjoyed as much as possible when opportunity allows. Clean, accessible beaches. The right side is said to be more family based. It also houses a “beach” mobility chair and mat to go to the water!!! So amazing! The left side (over the bridge) is said to be more happening and the bridge, of course is always “jumping” If you wish you can walk further down the left side, and it becomes quieted the further you embark. If you want to float down the wharf, you can enter as the others may be. Or you can slip into the calm beach just north of the left side, you will see . Just Stand on the bridge and look towards land ;) Have a blast & sit forget to say hi to the singing sands for me!

Basin Head deserving of best beach in Canada!
Fantastic beach! I can see why it is voted best beach in Canada. Soft sand that sqeaks ( due to silica in sand). Beach that stretches 9 miles and is mostly secluded just past the crowds (less than 1km down the beach), which was my favorite part. There is a bridge with little canal (and strong current) that you can jump off of and is supervised by lifeguards. It is about a 10-15 foot jump depending on the tide. There are several places to get beach food and refreshments. There is a fishing museum right there on the grounds. Plenty of parking. It is absolutely gorgeous. Nice gradual sloping beach for swimming and waves to play in!

Nice Free Beach
Stopped in here yesterday for a quick visit. Very nice place for a soak in the warm weather. Very kids friendly and family oriented! Restrooms were very clean, staff were friendly, ice cream stand was open as well. I highly recommend this place!
