Beaches

Fox Point Beach
968 Nova Scotia 329
Cleveland Beach Provincal Park is found in the community of Queensland on the Northern shore of St. Margaret’s Bay  in Nova Scotia. There is ample parking with a dedicated parking lot with toilet facilities (seasonal).  To the left of the parking lot is the picnic area with tables beside the lake, which is a great spot to watch and feed the ducks. The main beach at Cleveland beach Provincial Park stretches away perpendicular  to the parking lot and is long and sandy.   Cleveland Beach is shares the strange characteristics as the other beaches in St. Margaret’s Bay in that the winter storms wash away the sand leaving boulders, but fortunately the sand is returned in the spring ready for everyone to enjoy during the summer months. If you take the walking trail which follows the beach right around the peninsular there is a further small sandy beach overlooking Puddle Bay.
