Welcome

We are the Friends of Taylor Head Park Society: a dynamic group committed to the park’s preservation and education about its natural history.

An Eastern Shore Gem

Taylor Head Provincial Park is a nature reserve known for its rugged, wind-swept peninsula stretching 6.5 kilometres/4 miles into the Atlantic Ocean in Spry Bay, Nova Scotia. Experience dramatic views along this uninhabited, unspoiled coastline. The endless confrontation between land and sea has created a natural world masterpiece. This signature Provincial Park boasts an uncrowded, 1-kilometer-long sand beach for family fun and 12.2 km/7.6 mi of fabulous hiking trails that skirt the rugged, scenic coastline.

A Park Distinct From Any Other

Venture onto a rugged peninsula extending 6.5 km into the Atlantic Ocean – just under a 90 minute drive from Halifax.

Enjoy the uncrowded, 1 km long sand beach; stroll the quiet nature trails near the beach, or hike the Park’s fabulous coastal trails.

The Friends of Taylor Head Provincial Park offers guided hikes (free). You can visit our Events page to see when the next one is scheduled. Taylor Head peninsula is a mainland companion to the Eastern Shore 100 Wild Islands archipelago, which, like Taylor Head Park, is protected and preserved forever by the Province of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Nature Trust.
