About Dollar Lake Beach

Dollar Lake Beach is a freshwater beach in Dollar Lake Provincial Park, just 45 minutes from Halifax. The lake's sandy bottom and warm freshwater make it an excellent alternative to ocean beaches, especially for families with young children. The provincial park offers camping, hiking trails, and canoe/kayak rentals. The water is significantly warmer than coastal beaches in early summer.
