Taylor Head Beach – Spry Bay, NS

Taylor Head Beach

This secluded little beach seemed like such a hidden treasure, we almost didn’t want to write about it. But, as it turns out, Taylor Head beach is no secret for many Nova Scotians.

Arriving before 10, we had the whole beach to ourselves. And what a beach! A picturesque rocky cove, with fine white sand and sky for days. The tide was low, so we were able to climb up onto a large rock, a move that almost left us stranded due to fast raising tides.

Another nice feature are the sheltered picnic tables. Just off the beach, this area is well shaded without compromising the view of the water.

The whole beach is surrounded by a provincial park, filled with well kept path ways, fire pits, picnic tables and descriptive signs of the marine wildlife.

When we left the beach, we just kept driving. The Eastern Shore is the least-visited area of our beautiful province. The journey was filled with breathtaking sights of the shoreline, secluded picnic spots and highway folk art.
