Crescent Beach Back Bay

Overview

Crescent Beach Back Bay is the sheltered side of the famous Crescent Beach, on Nova Scotia's south coast near LaHave. While the ocean side of Crescent Beach faces the open Atlantic, the Back Bay offers protected, shallow waters ideal for kitesurfing at all levels. The bay is tidally fed and offers a flat water body contrasting with the ocean conditions on the other side. Picturesque coastal scenery typical of the South Shore.
