2025 Vacation: Rushtons Beach

Swimming in the Atlantic Ocean was new enough for our kids. But swimming in the northern Atlantic? 

That water is cold.

The frigid ocean didn’t stop us, though, at Rushtons Beach, a scenic, sandy beach on the north side of Nova Scotia. 

We spent half of the day relaxing on the beach. For the other half, we explored one of the rivers flowing into the Atlantic. The kids discovered you could tiptoe across the water to the near shore. 

I took the boardwalk and went to explore around the provincial park a bit. 

After brushing the sand off, we went into Pictou for dinner and ice cream.

Not a bad first day exploring the Maritimes.
