Love the video. Thanks Yes. We can probably expand to the top 20 beaches in NS. There are so many. Cape Breton and Northumberland Straight ( the warmest ocean water in Canada ) are also beautiful.
I may be biased, as my parents had a cottage at Heather's, at which once I floated a wine thermometer, taking a temperature of 75 degrees F. there. My favourite beach, ever. I am 85 now, and this summer took a swim there. John M. Hill
I’m on that stretch too.
I am moving Nova scotia from india forever. So excited to see my future home.
Stay in India. Canada is full.
Stay in India. Canada is full.
@@Gary_Winthorpe that’s mean.
Seriously. Stay in India. Canada is full especially NS
NS is a very expensive place to live, the beaches are lovely in the short summer months, but overall the weather is terrible. Accommodation is extremely expensive and difficult to get, so unless yiu have pre arranged accommodation or lots of cash, you could be in trouble. Medical is a disaster, 3 years wait to get a family doctor and many ER departments are closed most of the timesue to the lack of doctors. NS has one of the highest personal tax rates in Canada and one of the highest HST rates at 15 per cent. There is no public transport, except in major towns,no trains or intertown buses. Overall, the 3rd world province of Canada. I woukd avoid, except for a short summer holiday.
Carters Beach! All time fave! Miss home.
Love these beaches. As a resident in the Fundy area, I have to add that there are a lot of beautiful rocky beaches here with beautiful red cliffs, caves, and waterfalls.
Extremely beautiful place, arguably the best vibe in Canada! Stoked to visit for the first time soon !
You got that right! Great vibes here 🤙🏻😁
Several additional beaches are Cherry Hill Beach, Cherry Hill and Kejimkujik National Park (Seaside Unit) in Port Joli. Both of these beaches are stunning. It's a great hike to get to the beach at Keji. White sand beaches and lots of seals.
antigonish has beautiful beaches and warm water
I just thought everywhere had limitless beaches growing up in Antigonish, Only to find out later the rest of the world does not.
I love Taylor head, it was my favourite hike before I moved to Alberta. My sister always went to Lawerence Town beach and Queensland beach.
Beautiful video! Thank you! We are going to move from Europe to Halifax this year, looking forward to explore all that beauty!
You won’t be disappointed!
How has it been so far?
Wonderful beaches video thanks for sharing👌👌👌
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed 🙂👍🏻
Thank you for trip at the beaches...
If I had the money I would love to be able to explore every beach in Nova Scotia!! I miss it there so much!
Amazing!
great video. I'm from Philadelphia but went to St Mary's University in Halifax and you brought back some great memories
I'd like to add Lawrencetown beach. I spent 1000's of hours there and love it
Lawrencetown is a true gem! Too many good beaches!
My grandparent's retirement home was just across the road from it. Spent countless hours with my cousins watching the surfers, building sand castles and searching for rocks/beach glass.
Hirtles Beach! Great hike at Gaff point off of that beach as well!!!
Love Hirtles! And you’re right, Gaff point is an awesome addition 👏🏻
I visited Crystal crescent! It was so cool !
Your not kidding about the water at Taylors Head. Its in a cove so the water is so calm and clear, and very blue. Its the worst beach for catching waves, but that keeps the numbers down. lol
Crescent Beach in Lockeport is very beautiful as well 💖🌊⛱
Very true! A super unique one
Wow thanks!
Awesome footage top.
Thanks Lucas!
Great video man!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful footage...I am partial to Crescent Beach having lived here for 60 years. Only discovered Mavillette 2 years ago. The Eastern shore beaches look awesome!
Eastern shore has some really great beaches!
Mavillette is an amazing beach.
Well Taylor’s head is by far the most overlooked due to location but has provincial park amenities and the best hiking trails all along different waterfront around a point
You should probably checkout Cape Bretons beaches…It is part of the province you know?😮 Start here in Port Hood It’s all beachy 😊
Lol
YAAAAASSSSSSSS 🙌
thank you...yeah, someday
Crystal Crescent is my go-to because it's not only beautiful, but close to the city so you can literally go there for a few hours without driving 2 hours to get there. The only downside is the long gravel road to get in - it's like 4 wheeling but I it's worth it.
Nice video, but you didn't mention any of the warmer water beaches of the North Shore such as Melmerby or anything in Cape Breton. What about Ingonish. Lol.
He said its HIS top 7 picks!
@@sweetonyxakararegem692 The title of the video says, Top 7 Beaches. I can comment on whatever I feel like.
You could probably call Cape Breton (the heart-shaped island north-east of mainland) Island one large beach as many beaches are there, many for miles on the shore. JMH
You are aware that Cape Breton is part of Nova Scotia right? All of the beaches you named are nice but there’s one biiiig problem. The water is so cold (even in August) that you can’t go swimming without a dry suit at any of them. For beaches you can actually swim at, try Cape Breton beaches like Dominion beach, Ingonish beach, Dunvegan, Glacé Bay beach. On mainland NS it’s Melmerby beach. This video is going to leave a lot of tourists disappointed. Have you actually even been to these beaches?
I am very aware of that. I’ve been to almost every beach possible in Nova Scotia. You’re not wrong about the beaches in Cape Breton, there’s definitely a handful that blow most of these beaches away. I’ve include my tops that are within a decent radius from Halifax. Everyone is entitled to their own list but this is mine 👍🏻
Dude!! Have you never been to Pt. Michaud Beach in Cape Breton?? It offers all of the same things as the ones you listed here. Surfing, surfing lessons, white sand 2 1/2 miles long, lifeguards, sand art contests, drop off is a mile out, and more. I just live here, I'm not a tourist person, but you need to check it out!
It’s been on my list! Definitely will happen this summer
@@jakesescapesmedia Awesome!
Love martinique beach
Any list of 'best' beaches in Nova Scotia isn't worth a pinch if it doesn't include Melmerby Beach. Melmerby Beach is sandy and has the warmest waters north of the Carolinas.
I was going to say that,glad you did, I met people form Halifax at the Merb who told me it was worth the drive to enjoy fine sand and warm water,
@@brucebannerman6848 Melmerby is amazing. From a 4th generation Bluenoser
We know Canada snows in the winter and it warmer in the southern untied States,
But it's pretty in nova scotia in the summer
Melemerby Beach has to be in the top 3 at least.
Hello , one of my Favorite beaches is Stoney Island Beach , on Cape Sable Island N.S. ⛱ .
Cherry Hill and Louis Head are in my opinion the nicest ones.
Nice video! I have 2 personal faves that aren’t on your best beaches list… that I’m not going to reveal..Cheers!
How did I not know you had a TH-cam channel!? Subbed!!
Haha thanks dude! Haven’t explored much of TH-cam really.
I didn’t know either, also subbed. I love your photography. 😀
Best NS beaches are.......NB beaches(hidden gem IMO). Seriously, they are the warmest beaches in Canada and only 1/4 day trip for most Nova Scotians. Sandy Beach in Cape Pele comes strongly recommended, amazing facilities, food, beer and clean warm sandy beach! IMO NS beaches are just way too cold to enjoy, beautiful views but that's about it.
Awesome reviews and great footage.
Which beach would you find to be the most shallow/calm and clean with the soft white sand?
Thanks Lisa! Taylor Head would be the best for shallow and calm, it definitely stays pretty cold throughout the year though. Also Carters would be a good one.
@@jakesescapesmedia Great video! Which do you find has the warmest water?
@@CanuckMonkey even though it's not on here melmerby beach is said to be quite warm
@@somehowexsistent7980 Awesome thanks. Just bought a cottage in NS. Lots of beaches to explore. :)
Love ❤️ thank you!!! check out melmerby beach north shore
I have it’s beautiful! Hoping to check out during the summer though 🙌🏻
the opening shot is Inverness beach.
Opening shot is Clam Harbour!
Great vid thank you! Which beaches are the warmest in Nova Scotia?
Thank you! Some of the warmest beaches are in the Northumberland county, the water reaches up to 22 there!
@@jakesescapesmedia Thanks for the reply! Which one would you recommend to visit this summer? Wanted to take the family. Thanks!
@@jmantkd87 I would suggest Melmerby! It’s a fan favourite
Inverness Beach is the nicest in Nova Scotia
It truly is a beaut! I’m going to have to visit it again this summer.
I'm from New Glasgow (near Melmerby) and I have to agree so far. Scenic and warm.
U are so right
Awesome thank you!! Which one is the warmest ?? 🤣🤣
You’ll want to go to the northumberland shore, the water can get up to 22 in the summer! Melmerby beach is one of them
❤
what about Rushton beach?
Check out the beaches in Port Hood.
Dude!! How can you NOT have Rainbow Haven Beach on you're list 😜
Haha you got me there… only downside is that it is usually packed 🤪
@@jakesescapesmedia I lived not far from the beach, as a kid we went to Martinique a lot, I also know Lawrencetown well, all great beaches but R.H. is beautiful, best of the 3
Melmerby Beach is one of the great ones. Don't tell anyone though~!
Port Hood Beaches all five
Vicky Irish setter was worth something you'll never understand.
All your picks are beautiful...BUT you can't swim in many without a wet suit. You left out any of the many beaches on Northumberland Shore like Carabou, Big Island and my fav Melmerby. The topography is the same as north shore of PEI's famous Cavendish but unlike all the rest it has the 10 degree warmer water of the Nuthumberland.
Lots of red sand beaches
The beach are beautiful the question is ...if the beach water is warm like the carribean beaches...
Definitely not! It will be chilly in the summer months but will be refreshing. You can find the warmest water in Northumberland Shores! (Up to 22C)
Rissers Beach and campground is pronounced with a short "i".
Thanks for the correction!
You missed the BEST beaches, including the warmest water (north of Virginia, U.S.,) along the "North Shore" opposite P.E.I., including "Heather's Beach" and Northport, near the port of Pugwash (famous for the "PUGWASH CONFERENCE" re the conference of Atomic Nations held in 1950 during the "Cold War". JMH
What’s the beach at 0:20 ?
That is Inverness beach!
Do you have to pay to go to these beaches
Nope! They are all free.
Nothing on the North Shore where the water is warm? The beaches might not be as beautiful, but you can swim without freezing your nethers off.
You have a point! There’s just too many great beaches to include 🤪
Why do I feel nova scotia is where I should move?! I have NO idea what its like and yet..it calls my name.
RISS er's Beach not RYE Sers Beach.
0:26 The beaches of Nova Scotia are "all beautiful and filled with white sand." Untrue!!
I lived in N.S. for 24 years, near a beach most of that time. There are some white-sand beaches but also many red-clay or rocky, unswimmable beaches where the water is freezing cold, even on the hottest day of the year. You need to learn where the good beaches are.
Thanks for the clarification, mr. Technical 🤣
Wait a second. This is in Canada? The Canada that goes to -35 during the winter? No way, not possible.
You got it lol!
- 35 doesn’t happen in Nova Scotia.
We need fresh content!
Your beaches are incomplete. The warmest water beaches in Nova Scotia are all located in areas you missed. Eastern NS, Pictou and Antigonish Counties plus all the beaches along the Northumberland Strait are absolutely beautiful and without the icy water of South Western NS beaches. These are warm water beaches bringing families, especially children, great joy. You also missed the beaches of Cape Breton Island. A major error is not mentioning Port Hood Beach. How could you not know? Understand that in Nova Scotia the farther east you travel the warmer the ocean water. Please travel some more and educate yourselves. Then remake this.
Pugwash
Your #5 is pronounced Rissers Beach not risers
The worst thing to happen to NS beaches is the internet. Too many visitors is ruining the beauty and charm.
Social media , even worse
This list is hilarious that it doesn't have a single Cape Breton beach on it. I know it's a personal list, so I'll assume you never went to any of the top beaches in CB.
Cape Breton is my favourite place in the world. The beaches are on a different level compared to these
What kind of witchcraft is this? You showed footage of Inverness beach in the intro but it didn’t make the list? Pfftt 😊
Ya visitors have no respect for our province and litter every where they go stay away we love our province
Please don’t go to carters. As a life long resident of the area i beg you not to come to it. There is no decent parking area, no change rooms and while port o potty’s have been brought in for the past fee summers they are often filled with garbage
I came from a 3rd world country in the Middle East. I thought Canada is a developed and first-world country like European countries, the US, Japan, South Korea, Australia, News Land, and Singapore with the western standard, and also I thought is one of the best. The first time 2018 I arrived in Vancouver, I was shocked. I saw a lot of homelessness, trash, crime, ugly urbanism, and rusty houses in downtown and east Vancouver. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022I decided to move to the east coast because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception.
@Alborz dmavandi: you are talking about large cities. Any city in the world will have those things! I have lived ALL over Canada and have seen so much beauty! Perhaps, you were looking for some kind of ‘fantasyland’ that doesn’t exist, or perhaps, you ended up in another country, mistakenly! Canada has problems just like any country, your home country included! There must have been great reasons why you left! Perhaps, you chose bad areas in which to live in the Canadian cities…
@@donnaleach8119 Hi dear friend. You are absolutely right, my motherland has many problems. But it is a third-world country in the Middle East, not a developed western first-world country. you should compare Canada to Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Western Europe, North Europe, the US, and even East Europe. You are right, big cities can have problems. But Canada! Any city you go to, big or small, everywhere you look, you see garbage. This is certain. In this country, there is garbage on the side of all the roads. Wherever you look at any forest, river, national park, or beach, you will see trash. This is a cultural problem. Please take an honest look at TH-cam videos from cities in developed countries and then compare them with videos from Canadian cities. You will see a vast difference yourself. This country is similar to a developing country. it is a bitter truth that Canada cannot solve it because the culture has problems.
@@alborzdmavandi8190: I wasn’t meaning to put down your home country. I would never do that. Whenever friends or family visit Canada from USA or Western Europe, the first thing that they say is, “The people here are so nice and friendly!”. The second thing that they say is, “It is so clean!”. I have to also add that such statements of yours like, “…there is garbage on the side of all the roads…”, and “…wherever you look…you will see trash…” are such exaggerations that I can’t really take your other statements seriously. Lastly, this video is about the province of Nova Scotia. You really can’t comment on a place where you’ve never been. However, we can agree to disagree. That’s ok. Have a good day.
@@donnaleach8119 Hi, again dear friend. My greatest purpose is to raise awareness among Canadians that please help this beautiful and peaceful country because it does not deserve evil and ugliness. I chose this country for my family as a second home. so I will try my best to help the country.
@@alborzdmavandi8190 : I appreciate that very much. Thank you.
Beaches and NS in the same sentence? The world has truly gone delusional!
