Lawrencetown Beach
Lawrencetown Beach on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore, a short drive from Halifax, is one of the province's best-known kiteboarding and surfing beaches, with consistent wind and Atlantic swell suiting all levels — beginners can stay in the shallower, gentler water close to shore. Kite Arcade runs lessons in the area.
