I used to use this beach when I was first learning how to surf and wasn't comfortable with the big surf at L-Town on a heavy day. The waves are smaller and easier to handle for people just learning. I named it "Plan B" because I don't think it really has a name.The beach features some rocks on the left side and a mouth of a river on the right side. Seaweed tends to gather on the left side of the beach and gets annoying.
L-Town is descent break with cold water. Waves will breaks at the point and at the beach anywhere between 1.0 m+. The place is magnet for waves and can be head high or over at 1.4 m with a good period because of the bottom contours.The right is slow and short on most days but can get exceptionally long. The left can barrel. Water gets warm in summer similar to NJ -2C and about the same in winter. If you're looking for a remote getaway or some Canadian/Scottish culture this would be ideal. Halifax is great city. Otherwise, there are more consistent breaks elsewhere.If the waves are weak check out Martinique 25 min down the road its cleaner there on shoppy days.
