About Fox Point Beach
Fox Point Beach is a sheltered Nova Scotia cove dive on the Aspotogan Peninsula, with a sandy beach, small-pebble entry, and a gentle slope that makes the nearshore easy to read. The left side tends to hold the better life and the clearer line, while the overall dive stays best for calm-water days and training-style shore entries.
