Crescent Beach, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia

Crescent Beach is a 2 km long, 40 to 65 m wide crescent-shaped beach, with white sand, not far from the community of LaHave and the town of Lunenburg (famous for the Bluenose schooner).

The Crescent Beach sand bar connects some of the LaHave Islands to the mainland.

Prior to the construction of the paved road behind the dunes running the length of the backshore, the beach was primarily used as a path to and from George Island which is part of the LaHave Islands.

Automobiles are permitted on the actual beach itself, something rare in Nova Scotia.
