Note: Infrastructure improvements may cause delays or reduce services while we complete this important work. We appreciate your understanding at this time.
Discover two pristine, sandy beaches at the secluded Kennington and Anson’s Coves. Beautiful coastal scenery and outdoor experiences invite you to spend the day on the doorstep of the Atlantic Ocean. Walk this shoreline steeped in 300 years of history or get refreshed with a swim in the rolling waves. Enjoy family fun building sandcastles and splashing in the freshwater brook, and keep your eyes peeled for seals bobbing off the coast. These beaches are popular with locals and visitors alike during the warmest days of summer and fall. Visit in the early morning or late afternoon for a quiet and rejuvenating experience.
A must-visit place for history buffs, the first beach is where James Wolfe landed in 1758, marking a pivotal event in the Seven Years War and the beginning of the second siege of Louisbourg. This event is commemorated with its own national historic site designation.
To access this coastal gem, drive along Kennington Cove Road, past the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. The first beach is Kennington Cove. The second beach found at the end of the road is called Anson’s Cove. There are a limited number of parking spaces available at each beach. A short walk through the woods on a wide gravel road is required to access Anson’s Cove. Pit privies and picnic tables are available.
Stay safeRip tides are known to occur at both beaches. Therefore, caution should be used at all times, especially when swimming. Users of the beaches and facilities do so at their own risk. Cell service is unreliable in this area. Dogs and other pets must be kept on leash at all times., We thank you for picking up after your pet and disposing of droppings in the proper refuse containers.
