Isabells Beach
The area has rock out croppings which form mini-island with rich rockweed cloaks. Lots of lobsters and crabs here and flatfish as well. In summer, fish are common. The small community of Bald rock is out the Herring Cove Road south of Halifax, NS on the way to Sambro. The 2nd paved road on the left after leaving Keth Harbour is marked with a street sign, "Bald rock". A sting of homes runs out onto this side of the headland. The community has fixed up a grassy spot with a gravel beach they call "Isabells Beach", on the right just before htting houses close to the road. A widening of the road allows for several vehicles to park off the main drive. We only use this site on shoulder seasons, later fall, winter and early spring, so as to leave it open and uncrowded for the locals whom made it. The diving is shallow and fairly muddy, but it is a nice little spot that can be dived when NE winds blow - it is open to the SW. High tide is a bit better here, as the area is so shallow.
