Black Rock Beach is a peaceful place to unwind. The beach is located within Point Pleasant Park (at the south end of Halifax). On-site, there is available parking and bicycle racks. Public transportation is also an available and reliable option.
Black Rock Beach is not the grandest beach, but it is a focal point within Point Pleasant Park (Halifax’s largest park). During the summer months of the year, visitors can come to enjoy the scenery and a swim. Public washrooms can also be found in proximity to the beach. This beach is ideal for people who want to scuba dive because of the breakwater from the nearby Halifax Pier and eelgrass beds. While swimming is not ideal after the summertime, the beach is open year round for visitors who just want to enjoy the scenery. Please note that there is no lifeguard supervision at this beach.
During the summertime, Point Pleasant Park is home to Shakespeare by the Sea – a theatre company who performs plays right next to the sea.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
