The Kingsport waterfront offers Kingsport and surrounding communities safe, year-round access to the Minas Basin. It includes a boat launch, swimming beach, boardwalk, and the Tide’s In Canteen. This is not a Provincial Beach; it is owned by the Kingsport Community Association. Please be respectful of our community and remove any trash and dog waste from the beach and boardwalk. Overnight camping and parking are not permitted. Provincial Burn Restrictions must be adhered to for campfires on the beach. And please be aware of the tide. It comes in fast!
