Beaches
Northern Bay Sands Park should be a part of every east coast childhood. The North Atlantic may be bracing for most, but the river falls is delightfully refreshing on a warm summer day and the sand will be surprisingly hot on tender bare feet. The Park has an excellent fully serviced camping area. ( Route 70. 3.9 km north)
