The
Area
|
Located on Nova Scotia's Route #331, Lunenburg County,
Crescent Beach and it's neighboring villages have the reputation of
being some of the most beautiful along Nova Scotia's South
Shore. The community of Crescent Beach is named after the
magnificent 1-mile long gentle-sloping, crescent-shaped sand beach
which separates the Atlantic Ocean from Dublin Bay.
It has one of the finest ocean beaches in the Maritimes
and a return destination of vacationers for generations. Click

the LaHave Islands to see the 4 km long sandbar Crescent Beach which
connects the LaHave Islands of Bush and Bell to the mainland via the
back beach road. |
Crescent Beach &
Area - a nice
place to live or visit
 |

Prior to 1957, the beach was the only means for the
LaHave Island residents to go by foot, horse and wagon or vehicle to
Bush Island; and, of course they could only go at low tide. Today a
road and bridges enable vehicle access to the LaHave Islands of Bush
and Bell. Our Community, is rich in seafaring, boat building and
fishing history.
Learn the history of the area at the LaHave Islands Marine
and
Fort Point Museums.
See life as it was when fishing was at its peak. See where Samuel
de Champlain & Pierre Dugua Sieur de Monts on May 8th 1604, anchored
their ship.
Crescent Beach and area is a major migratory stopping
point for
birds.
A walk on Crescent Beach at sunrise is a must to see mother
nature's paintbrush display over Dublin Bay and the LaHave Islands.

Creating a masterpiece |
Children are easily amused by the wading pools at the head
of Crescent Beach: they love to romp in the waves or create masterpieces
with the sand. This gives their folks chance to relax, stroll surfside
or join in the fun. |
|
The historic, picturesque town of
Lunenburg
is 30 minutes away, the community of
Mahone Bay, 40 minutes, or the
commercial center of Bridgewater, 20 minutes. Several golf courses are
within driving distance. You can enjoy lunch or a tasty temptation at
the LaHave Bakery, LaHave, or Best Coast Coffee Gallery, Broad Cove. Speaking
of food, lobster season on the South
Shore of Nova Scotia is November 30 to May 30. We can arrange fresh
lobster for you during that time. |

There's so much to see and do! Perhaps I've missed
something or
"left a stone unturned".
