Where is the best beach for skim boarding?

Hello Bonita,
Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander.
I would think that any of our amazing beaches would be great for skimboarding. Basin Head Beach is a very popular beach in the Points East Coastal Drive Region.
Kite surfers seem to enjoy Souris Beach on a windy day.
If you prefer rougher water, I would suggest sticking to the beaches of the North Shore. If you want calmer waters with low tides and vast flats I would head to the South Shore beaches. Keep an eye on beach reports, some days are just too rough to be using any kind of flotation device.
Have fun!
Valerie

Asked: I will be visiting Souris in early July 2024. I would love to take in a traditional lobster boil ( if that’s the correct wording , with the potatoes and corn and sea food ). Is there a local area known for offering this?
