Found off of the Trans Canada Highway at Wood Islands ferry terminal, this small beach has the lovely focal point of the Wood Islands Lighthouse, which started running in 1876. The lighthouse has a museum which teaches visitors about fisheries and the shipping industry. There is also a craft shop selling artisan goods of the island. This beach is unsupervised and for day use, but has washrooms, picnic tables, a boat ramp, a playground and a canteen.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
