Nova Scotia is a beautiful province you'll want to visit during your next road trip. It is known for breathtaking coastline, salty ocean air and friendly locals.
As you drive along the coast, you'll stumble on lots of beaches. Secret beaches, public beaches, groomed beaches and rocky ones. So you might be wondering, where are the Seaglass beaches?
I'd love to share some of my favourite Seagleass spots with my readers, it will hopefully make beachcombing a breeze! I'd also love to hear about your favourite spots, so feel free to share in the comments below.
My top 3 favourite Seaglass beaches in Cape Breton Island and mainland Nova Scotia:
- Neils Harbor Beach. This is a special spot, a hidden gem along the Cabot Trail. Neils Harbor Beach can be found off the side of the road, nestled down a walking path, beyond some apple trees. Neils Harbour is a small fishing village located along the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island.
If you love chowder and tiny fishing villages you'll want to stop in this sweet little town. You can easily walk through it, down the main road. You'll find little stands on the roadside selling handmade Cape Breton Folk art too. Up by the wharf you'll find a small Lighthouse, which is actually an ice cream shop.
2. Another favourite beachcombing spot is Indian Beach, located in North Sydney. This is a lovely spot as it is directly across from the Ferry terminal. You'll see fishing boats coming and going, the bustling ferry to Newfoundland and a stretch of beach alongside the park area.
3. A great place that is known for Seaglass after a big storm are the beaches at Martinique Beach Provincial Park. Martinique Beach is located on mainland Nova Scotia and is another lovely area to explore, it features a very long stretch of beach to spend the day exploring.
I hope these 3 favourite beaches inspire you get out for a beach day of your own ✨ Want to learn more about the best places to find Seaglass in Nova Scotia?

Hey Kim, thanks for the comment, it really depends on which beach you visit. Generally speaking I’d say most are safe to visit solo however depending on where you are I would considering bringing a walking stick. I tend to carry one in Cape Breton just as a precaution should I have a run in with some coyotes. Enjoy and have fun!
Brittany, I personally have not frequented beaches in that area, sorry.
Great post-thx! Would you say these beaches/towns are safe to visit alone?
Any recommendations for beaches between Yarmouth and Dibgy to find Beach Glass?
mill cove beach in hubburbs is a great place to find seaglass. If you’ve ever been to fox point beach, its not far from there. It’s a beach thats on the smaller side but it’s where i have found a lot of my seaglass
