The waters that surround Port Hood flow from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Temperatures in the summer average around 23 degrees (Celsius) making Port Hood beaches the place with the warmest north of the Carolinas.  It is the beach capital of Cape Breton Island.  Whether you choose to get your feet wet or dive right in, there are five beaches to choose from, or explore all of them.

Lawrence’s Beach

Lawrence’s Beach

Lawrence’s Beach has been a family favourite for generations. There are miles of sandy coastline with stunning views of Henry Island and Port Hood Island.  It is a little bit more out of the way than the other beaches… access and parking are limited but upgrades have been made recently. If you like to get an early start on your beach day, Lawrence’s is a great choice.
