Please note: Dingle Beach and Kinsmen Beach on Sackville's First Lake have been temporarily closed due to water quality issues.
HRM has a variety of beaches, lakes and outdoor pools, many of which are supervised by our trained lifeguards every day of the summer.
Certified by Red Cross, our lifeguards have specialized training in injury prevention, first aid and are equipped with emergency supplies for a waterfront setting.
All locations which are supervised by HRM staff, include daily maintenance and weekly water testing as well.
HRM Beach Phone Line: 490-5458
