Amherst Shore Provincial Park is a useful Northumberland Strait option if you want a quieter camping base, a beach walk and a practical place to test hammock or tent-alternative gear.
Current Planning Notes
- Nova Scotia Parks lists Amherst Shore’s 2026 operating season as June 5 to October 12, 2026.
- The park has wooded campsites, a beach day-use area and wooded hiking trails.
