Murray Point

Murray Point in Nova Scotia is a beginner-friendly shore dive on a rocky promontory that extends into the Atlantic, creating a natural reef system along its submerged flanks. The point's rocky walls and boulder fields support healthy kelp forests and a diverse cold-water community. Northern sea stars in vivid orange, purple, and red colours are particularly photogenic here. Lobsters are abundant in the rocky crevices, and the point's exposure to open water occasionally brings visits from harbour seals and passing schools of mackerel. Easy shore access and gradual depth progression make this a comfortable dive for beginners exploring Nova Scotia's coast.
