Beach at South End of Saint Peter's Canal
This crescent shaped beach is located at the south end or Atlantic Ocean side of the Saint Peter's Canal. Completed in 1869, the 800 m (2,600 ft.) canal and lock system allow vessels to sail between Bras d'Or Lake and the Atlantic Ocean. Battery Provincial Park overlooks St. Peters Bay. The park is open from mid June until early September and offers a 53 site wooded hillside campground, open picnic area, and unsupervised beach. Walking trails provide a good view of the surroundings and much of the history of the site is described at interpretive sites along the way. The Park is home to a number of historically significant sites, including the site of a lime kiln used to make plaster and mortar, some of which was used in the construction of Fortress Louisbourg, as well as the remains of two forts that involved in the French and English struggle over the North American continent., This crescent shaped beach is located at the south end or Atlantic Ocean side of the Saint Petra's Canal.
