Description & Services
Information | Beautiful 1.8 km long sand beach, at the mouth of the Sable River ; on the lighthouse route in the community of Louis Head; across from Louis Head Campground. The sandy beach and protected cove make it an ideal launching area for kayaking. Limited parking. Lovely place for a walk! Use at own risk. Home to the endangered Piping Plover, dogs should be leashed during the nesting and hatching season in late June and early July. If you would like to see the nestlings hatch, or witness this marvelous little creature in action, please contact the Crescent Beach Centre for more information 902-656-3123. |
