Panmure Island Beach — Attraction in Gaspereaux

Chill lil' beach (but not chilly) with non-existent D-bag factor! In late July with the air temperature near 30, the water temp was very comfortable, I was worried that jellyfish would spoil our time but I saw none here. Also no worrisome quick drop-off in terms of water depth--- a medium-sized kid can walk out a few hundred feet and not need to tread water. Beachgoers were polite and considerate, and it was great to have a convenient liitle snack bar (Pinky's) on site too. This was a really nice experience compared to the over-congested Ontario beaches I'm used to. Parking lot is small-ish but I guess just large enough for the traffic this beach sees.

This is a picture perfect crescent white fine sand beach. It features a lighthouse at one end and a treed hill on the other. A bank of grassy dunes separate the beach from the road ... so it feels private . The ocean is normally calm here , so it is a lovely place for families with small children . There is also a set of sand bars that allow beachgoers to walk far into the ocean and hardly be up to their waist in the water ! I have been to this beach many times and will go back again ! Another lovely feature of this beach is a restaurant/snack bar with seating on a deck ...a view of the water (across the road from the beach ) and change rooms...

The beach was nice and laid back. The surf waves aren't that strong here, but there are tides. If you are ordering food from that place, you do have to wait for like 45 minutes to get it. The lifeguards were friendly and even offered us a spot next to them. There is also a work dog and an observatory on sight. So if you don't mind the hiccups, this beach may be the right place to bring your family for a day...
