Fox Point Beach

Fox Point Beach in Nova Scotia is one of those spots we keep coming back to. Forget your tropical reefs, this is proper cold-water diving, and it’s brilliant for it. The entry from the beach is straightforward, just walk in and drop down. Depths run from about 5 to 15 metres, so you’ve got plenty of bottom time to poke around. What we love here is the sheer density of life hiding in the kelp. You’ll find Atlantic cod lurking, and we’ve often spotted lumpsuckers clinging to the fronds, looking grumpy as ever. Keep an eye out for Little Skates gliding over the sandy patches between the kelp forests. Visibility can swing a bit depending on the day, but when it's good, it’s a serene, green world down there. We’d suggest going at high tide to minimise the walk over the rocks. It’s a site that rewards slow, careful exploration, perfect for macro enthusiasts and anyone keen to see what Canada’s Atlantic coast really has to offer beneath the surface.
