Fox Point Beach

Fox Point Beach on St. Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia is a beginner-friendly shore dive with easy sandy beach access to sheltered bay waters. The gradual underwater slope features a mix of sand and rocky reef habitat, with kelp beds providing cover for juvenile fish and invertebrates. The site's gentle conditions make it popular for training dives and those new to cold-water diving. Lobsters, sea stars, and crabs inhabit the rocky areas, while the sandy patches reveal moon snails and flatfish. Summer months offer the warmest water and best visibility, making this a pleasant introduction to diving in Atlantic Canada.
