Lunenburg County

Cherry Hill Beach offers a direct route to happiness via its empty curve of fine grey sand, exposed water and endless sky. Home to the endangered Piping Plover, it is a wonderful beach for surfers and a nice place to walk pets (on-leash only).

Queens County

PIPING PLOVER CONSERVATION PROGRAM

Our Swell Team is proud to help this species at risk. Piping Plovers still face many threats, including habitat loss due to development, disturbances from recreational beach users and off-leash dogs, and natural predators.

WE OBEY BEACH RULES AND REGULATIONS ๐Ÿ†

Rules and regulations vary from beach to beach, but are usually put in place to protect wildlife and beach users. Help maintain our beaches and wildlife by keeping pets on leash and vehicles off the beach where indicated.

WE RESPECT NESTING AREAS โœŒ๏ธ

In Atlantic Canada, breeding beaches (i.e. Cherry Hill Beach) will be marked with signs. Please remain outside of identified nesting areas, and walk on the wet sand to ensure unmarked nests are not trampled by humans and/or pets.

WE LEAVE NO TRACE ๐Ÿฅท

โ€œIf you pack it in, plan to pack it out.โ€ There are so many ways to say it, and itโ€™s an extremely important message. Please remove all garbage and food from the beach. Leave natural debris (like driftwood) to ensure a healthy habitat.

GET INVOLVED

There are many opportunities to volunteer. You can also help by reporting your sightings at known Piping Plover nesting areas ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“
