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!
