Martinique Beach

"Musquodoboit Harbour is a haven for fishing enthusiasts. Nearby is Martinique Beach, one of Nova Scotia's best." -- Fodor's

"For warmer waters, Martinique Beach Provincial Park is the place to go. Located on the Eastern Shore, about five kilometres south of Musquodoboit Harbour, the ocean here warms up sooner and faster than any other place in the province." -- The Globe and Mail.

One of the most amazing things about Bayers Island is that it is situated at the end of Nova Scotia's longest white sand beach -- Martinique Beach, a 5 kilometer (3.1 miles) long crescent. When you consider that Nova Scotia has 7,500 kilometers (4,700 miles) of shoreline, it's clear how rare it is.

What's equally special is that Martinique Beach is a Provincial Park, and as such is eternally protected. Bayers Island is the only private property at the end of Martinique Beach. The only thing surrounding Bayers Island is the ocean, Musquodoboit Harbour, and the lagoon. The only thing connecting it to the mainland is Martinique Beach. You could not ask for a better situation!

Since Martinique Beach is never crowded (the nearest town is 6 miles away with a population of 953), you virtually have a good stretch of Martinique Beach for your own enjoyment. You can consider it your "backyard". And what a backyard it is. With the sounds of the sea, the sandpipers, the Great Blue Herons, the fresh sea air, and the fine white sand to massage your feet, it's the perfect antidote to modern civilization.
