Five Islands Park

The park’s closed from Fall, google doesn’t tell you that. We drove all the way till there but couldn’t walk the basin, though planned the travel according to ebb timings.I assume it opens for summers , even the restaurants nearby were closed. We hiked a bit , didn’t want to hike all the way till park (takes like 7 km or so one way I think). Might return in summer but I wish google told us it was closed.

The BEST!!!! This campsite built into the cliff side has MANY campsites with spectacular views. Almost every campsite is very large and well spaced from others. I could have sat and stared at the view all day. There are lovely trails just to access parts of the campsite and hiking trails as well. The surrounding area is picturesque and offers an easy day trip to Chignecto Provincial park. Scenery around there is stunning. Facilities were clean, and the campground was beautifully groomed.

Hiked the Red Head trail. The trail is mostly wooded with occasional viewpoints where views are often obstructed by trees. Trail is in need of some maintenance in places. The view from Red Head is spectacular however and worth the investment. There is no beach access along the trail (without significant risk due to high cliffs). There is ample parking by the campground rest station, which has washrooms and showers. The hike start is a short distance away. There is beach access from the campground. Beautiful views from the beach as well.

This place was an amazing place giving us a unique experience of the high and low tide. The lighthouse was very beautiful and well decorated. There was an easy access down the the beach. We were able to walk on the ocean floor since it was a low tide at the time. We were able to see many sea creatures like crabs, snails, etc. There was a playground near the lighthouse making foe an amazing place for children. There were benches giving a great view of the ocean and the 5 islands. The islands looked spectacular especially from the lighthouse area of the park.

Amazing park and people.probably best I'vestayed at ..it is a very nice piece of quiet heaven...I would stay here all season if I could. The sights and excursions are endless and have had the best vacation in years. There are private sites ( which is what I booked) for people who need to get away and decompress. Highly recommend this park for your next trip!!!!
