Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at St. Andrews Island Provincial Park, where the rugged coastline meets the serene beauty of Nova Scotia's wilderness. Explore the island's diverse landscapes, from its rocky shores to its lush forests, and keep an eye out for the rich array of wildlife that calls this park home. Whether you're hiking the scenic trails or picnicking by the water's edge, St. Andrews Island is a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike.

When to go

The ideal time to visit St. Andrews Island Provincial Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the park is in full bloom. However, be mindful of the peak season crowds. Spring and fall offer cooler temperatures and fewer visitors, making them great times for those seeking tranquility. Winter visits can be challenging due to harsh weather and limited access.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly on the island.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for hiking on uneven terrain and coastal trails.
  • Be aware of local wildlife and maintain a safe distance at all times.
  • Some areas of the park may be closed for conservation efforts; respect all signage and barriers.
  • Facilities may be limited, so plan accordingly and bring necessary supplies, including water and snacks.
