A DAY AT THE BEACH
Youghall Beach is a place where you can immerse yourself in the quintessential beach experience. This picturesque coastal setting invites you to indulge in leisurely activities such as swimming, sunbathing, building sandcastles, playing beach games, picnicking, or simply strolling along the water.
DAILY GROOMED SAND
Sink your toes in some of the softest sand in Northern New Brunswick. City of Bathurst crews are hard at work every morning with our beach cleaner to ensure the sand is in tip-top shape before beachgoers arrive. The cleaner operates like a large industrial mechanized rake, picking up small objects such as seashells, rocks, seaweed, and wood debris up to one meter (three feet) in length, leaving behind pristine sand for all to enjoy.
