Also, walking with a camera is difficult. I apologize.

Gaff Point Trail & Hirtle Beach - Hiking in Nova Scotia

On a hot summer day, looking for the cool ocean air in Nova Scotia isn't usually a problem. So we drove out an 90 min outside of downtown Halifax to Hirtle Beach. This is located pretty much in the middle between Lunenburg & Bridgewater.

The beach is maintained by the municipality of Lunenburg and the parking lot can accommodate about 40-50 cars. Best to arrive early on a really hot day.

We arrived at 9am and our temperature gauge displayed 17C, down almost 10 degrees from the mainland. We timed out visit well, so that we could walk along the sandy beach. High tide will make the walk a bit more difficult due to the beach stones.

We walked down the beach for about 2km, until we arrive at Gaff Point and headed for the tree line to start the hiking trail. This area is under a conservation program to protect a certain amount of coastline. The walking trail starts up the middle, the a lovely loop trail along the shoreline.

We did the trail clockwise and enjoyed a well maintained terrain which changed as we got closer to the shoreline. A segment is hikes along the tilted shale rock which appear to be sticking up. The total hike was 6.4kms.

Once we got back to the car, it was a warm 21C, perfect to enjoy some lunch at the beach.

Expected the take about 2-3 hours to fully enjoy your visit. Keep your pets on a leash when hiking the trail as you will be walking along the edge of significant cliffs.
