Lawrencetown Beach

Lawrencetown Beach is Eastern Canada's premier surf destination—a provincial park beach east of Halifax that catches every hurricane swell and nor'easter that sweeps up the Atlantic seaboard. The Nova Scotia surf community has built a legitimate scene here, surfing through winters that require the thickest wetsuits, hoods, boots, and gloves. When autumn hurricanes track northward or winter storms churn offshore, Lawrencetown produces powerful, quality waves that rival much of the East Coast. The setting is quintessentially Canadian: rugged coastline, cold water, and the satisfaction of earning every wave.
