The Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service strives to staff its beaches with local lifeguards. If there is no qualified local staff available, the NSLS will hire staff from other areas and provide living accommodations.
The newest beach to be staffed with lifeguards is Point Michaud Beach on Cape Breton Island. This is a protected beach and provincial park. It boasts three kilometres of sand shore and sandbar surf breaks. Point Michaud Beach is Cape Breton’s No. 1 surf destination for the summertime.
There are many other lifeguarded beaches throughout Nova Scotia and some of them do have surfable waves.
