Getting to Bayers Islands

By Car You can reach the Martinique Beach Provincial Park parking lot, or the Ostrea Lake government wharf, from either downtown Halifax or the Halifax International Airport, in under 40 minutes.
By Foot By parking in one of the lots provided for in the Martinique Beach Provincial Park, it is possible to hike to the islands in 25 minutes. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the beach. The sand is very hard-packed, and could support mountain bikes along the shoreline. Dunes should be avoided due to the seasonal presence of nesting, endangered Piping Plovers.
Marine Access Fishing-type boats, sailing craft, barges, and the like can reach the islands most easily from the Northern and Eastern (harbour) sides. Kayaks and canoes can easily reach the island by paddling behind Martinique Beach. A public wharf is located 5-10 minutes away at Ostrea Lake (picture below).
