Hello Marc, 

Thank you for reaching out! Many of our campgrounds are right on the coast, Jacques Cartier, Red Point, and Cedar Dunes for example and many of the private campgrounds are as well. Campbell's Cove Campground is a great example of a private campground that is right on the cape. 

If you want to pull up with your car to be close to a beach, Souris Beach Gateway Park is a great location. There is a spacious parking lot adjacent to the boardwalk which gives you a great view of the Northumberland Strait. 

Basin Head Beach is one of our most famous beaches, also known as the Singing Sands beach. It is a lovely location to just sit and enjoy. 

Enjoy!

Valerie
