Where to go

Rushtons Beach Provincial Park

Rushtons Beach Provincial Park is just a short drive from Tatamagouche and renowned for its sprawling sandy coastline along the Northumberland Strait. Campers can enjoy the warmest ocean water in Nova Scotia, observe piping plovers or ospreys from broad sandbars or walk the boardwalk that stretches across a picturesque salt marsh. Nearby waterfront campgrounds are well-equipped for both tents and RVs, with dump stations, playgrounds, and outdoor showers. Or splurge on a private Mongolian Yurt closer to Tatamagouche to continue a day of luxury on the water.

Amherst Shore Provincial Park

Journey farther along Northumberland Strait to Amherst Shore Provincial Park, where the natural beauty of the rugged shoreline is surrounded by red sandstone cliffs and dense woods. Hike the Annabelles Brook Trail as it winds through the park toward the beach, offering glimpses of local wildlife such as foxes and ospreys. After a day exploring, retire to on-site woodland campsites, which are open seasonally and equipped with amenities like picnic tables, firepits, electric hookups, and clean restroom facilities.

Tidnish Dock Provincial Park

Dive into a unique blend of nature and history at Tidnish Dock Provincial Park. Once the site of the groundbreaking Chignecto Marine Transport Railway project, now it offers scenic views of the Tidnish River, interpretive signs, and pathways leading to remnants of this ambitious project.
