Parks & Nature
South Harbour Beach is THE BEST BEACH around! It spans a good portion of the Aspy Bay, and is one of our hidden gems. Enter 760 White Point Road in Google Maps, and the trail is across from it. Another way to find it is to drive on the White Point road through South Harbour. Look on the water side for the sandbar beach. When you get close, watch for a pull off area on the side of the road. There are usually cars here. There is a path through the woods to get to the beach.

Just like being in Scotland. The fishing village used to be on this trail. There is a pioneer cemetery, and you can see the outlines of the fishing shacks along the shore. There are two little islands call the two "tittles". There is considerable overhand - don't go within a few meters of the cliffs!
