Quick Facts
About Stoney Island Beach
Stoney Island Beach is a beautiful, white sand barrier beach on Cape Sable Island in southwestern Nova Scotia. This wild, windswept shoreline offers 2 kilometers of pristine sand and exceptional bird watching opportunities. Part of an important migratory bird area, the beach is virtually undeveloped — perfect for those seeking the raw beauty of Nova Scotia's most southerly coastline. Lifeguards are on duty in July and August, and Mobi-Mats provide wheelchair access to the sand.
