Clean and well organized beach! Life guards in some areas. Beware of undertow. Lots of staff worked on the property while we were there. Lots of pride shown by staff and locals. Lots of tourists. Although there were a lot of people there when we were there, it did not seem overly crowded. Lots more room on the beach and in the parking lot. Everything is free! There is a very cool food truck selling funky drinks. See pics. Carved out pineapple and melons with drinks inside! We would definitely recommend this beach!
Rainbow Haven Beach Provincial Park is a wonderful place to unwind and take in some beautiful coastal scenery. The beach is very scenic, especially in the evenings. The soft sand and gentle waves make it a great place for a relaxing walk or just to sit and enjoy the view. Visited it on a beautiful summer evening, the cold breeze added a refreshing touch, making it more enjoyable. The park is well-maintained, with clean facilities and ample parking. There are plenty of picnic areas, making it a perfect spot for a family outing or a quiet evening with friends. The surrounding dunes and boardwalks add to the charm, providing a nice blend of natural beauty and easy accessibility.
Beautiful beach. While it is very busy, there is still lots of space to park and lots of places to relax and play in the sand. I really liked the outdoor showers and foot showers because this type of sand sure is sticky!
Can't go wrong with being by the ocean and sandy beach!!! 🏖️ Nice patch of sand, great experience during any day of the week, parking is limited in the off season...popular place!!!
It was cold! ❄️❄️❄️ But still, it's fabulous in winter! But I don't understand, why it is closed in winter? having such a wonderful park not so far from HRM, the parking was not cleaned! Why? It was full of cars today. And all people were struggling with a snow. Sidewalks were not shoveling as well. I believe here will be some changes in this way! 🙏 Outside-winter-walking and hiking is still in demand! And logically, some parks closer to the bigger sites should have operated parking during winter as well. Anyway, a lot of people, dogs were here, at Rainbow Beach today. Lovely weather and sunshine. The Ocean is stunning! ❤️
First visit was the end of June. The sand was clean looking no trash littering the place. Pretty scenery, long walk but gorgeous view of the water and surrounding areas.. Great swimming spot. Great experience. It's worth the visit.
Amazing view and beautiful sunset. This is a great beach to take the family. Nice sandy shoreline. An amazing salty breeze comes in handy on a hot day,but get there early. The parking lot fills up quickly. It's also a good place for birdwatching.
This is a spot where time seems to stand still, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and an expansive horizon that stretches as far as the eye can see. It's an idyllic location for capturing stunning photographs. If you're thinking of visiting, be sure to pack some cozy blankets to ward off the occasional gusts of wind that whip through the area.
