Crescent Beach is a white sand beach and causeway connecting the Lockeport peninsula to mainland Nova Scotia. As a serviced beach, parking, changing rooms, showers, canteen, craft shop, and visitor information are found at the Crescent Beach Centre. A variety of different festivals and activities are hosted at the beach.
Crescent Beach, like other saltwater beaches, are prime examples of social-ecological systems. This means they are complex, integrated systems where human and ecological components impact each other. Their resilience, their ability to cope with change, involves looking at how this combined system can withstand, adapt to, and recover from disturbances while still keeping its main functions and purpose. Saltwater beaches are dynamic social-ecological systems. They provide coastal protection, wildlife and dune vegetation habitats, sediment maintenance, recreation, cultural identity, and educational opportunity. Their management, ecological health, and long-term sustainability, however, depends upon us.
