History
Inverness beach is owned by the Municipality of Inverness and has been supervised since 1975.
Beach Safety
Inverness Beach's breakwater is located about 350 meters down the beach and is still heavily used by locals. People often try to walk out onto the breakwater, but lifeguards strongly advise against it. The beach also has the potential for high surf conditions, which can cause rips and lateral currents. The lifeguard chair is positioned about 100 meters from the left of the beach entrance, with the supervised area normally extending approximately 75 meters on either side of it. The waters of Inverness are usually warmer than those of many of the other saltwater beaches in Nova Scotia.
