Nova Scotia has a wealth of provincial parks. Some are small picnic areas, and others are large parks with a variety of facilities.  Mavillette Beach Provincial Park is located in the Yarmouth and Acadian Shores region. Mavillette Beach is a 1.5-km long sandy beach backed by fragile marram grass covered dune protected by boardwalks. Low tide exposes sand flats; then the hot sand warms the water. Supervised swimming on Saturdays and Sundays only in the months of July and August. Visitors can enjoy the coastal accessible views. Park features include change houses, vault toilets, freshwater taps, bird watching platforms, interpretive panels, and a parking area and boardwalks to access the beach. Guided walks are also available. (Please note that there are no picnic tables at this park.)


Government operated.Wheelchair accessible.
