Welcome to The Beach Pea - a brand new, two-bedroom cottage, ideally located in Kingsport just a three-minute walk to the beach. It faces due south on a sunny landscaped property with private spaces for relaxing and enjoying a barbecue. Everything is here for your comfort, from a well-equipped kitchen, spacious shower to new linens and towels. And large floor-to-ceiling windows for light and the fresh seaside breezes.
Kingsport by the Sea is a charming hamlet tucked away in the Annapolis Valley, Kings County in the heart of Nova Scotia. The Kingsport beach is a large sand beach on the Minus Basin along the Bay of Fundy, known for the highest tides in the world. At low tide you can walk for miles. When the tide is high it's perfect for boating, canoes, kayaks and paddle boarding. There's a large timber wharf with a boat slip so if you have a boat on a trailer, it's easily launched from here. There is also another small beach closer to the Beach Pea, only known to the locals! A nice spot to fly a kite and to sunbathe in privacy.
Of course, no beach should be without a canteen. Here in Kingsport, we have the 'Tides In' offering everyone's summer favourites - hamburgers, fish and chips, ice cream and more.
