Directions:

From Dartmouth, take the Eastern Passage Road to Fisherman's Cove. Turn right onto Shore Road and you will see a parking lot and sign for the park on your right.

Description:

This short trail takes you around a small loop along the coastline of McCormack's Beach. To protect the dunes and grasses the trail is on a boardwalk, this also makes the trail wheelchair accessible. You can see the whole length of the loop trail along the beach and everyone else that is walking around it.

The trail provides a chance to look at downtown Halifax from a different perspective. Situated in the small village of Fisherman's Cove you are also given views of the lighthouse on Devils Island and a great look at Lawlor Island, you can practially throw a rock to it, and behind it McNabs Island.

After the loop you can continue on the boardwalk that takes you by the restaurant and into the area of small shops in Fisherman's Cove.
