About Long Pond Beach
Long Pond Beach is a small but well-loved supervised freshwater beach on Herring Cove Road in Halifax, managed by the Halifax Regional Municipality. Despite its modest size, it's a popular spot for local families seeking a safe swimming environment with seasonal lifeguard supervision. The beach sits on the shore of the lake known as Long Pond, surrounded by residential neighbourhoods in the Herring Cove area, and provides a convenient city escape without leaving the peninsula.
