Mahoneys Beach is situated at the mouth of Antigonish Harbour along the Sunrise Trail, just 11 KM out of Antigonish on Route 337.
|
Along the route are beautiful views of rolling farmland, dairy farms and some spectacular glimpses of the meandering Antigonish Harbour. |
|
Mahoneys Beach is a relaxing sand and beach stone sand bar that you can walk along at low tide. Explore the lagoons and sandbar, the tide pools, and beach grasses and flowers. |
|
I was lucky to see herons skimming along the coastline, wading in the tidal pools and fishing. |
|
On a calm day people were enjoying kayaking along the coast line. The many coves and islets make it an interesting place to explore. |
