White Point Beach Resort graciously invited us to spend the weekend there to check it out! We loved every minute of it! Here are 10 Reasons why you should take your family to White Point Beach Resort!
1. It’s beautiful location
White Point Beach Resort is located on Nova Scotia’s beautiful South Shore. In my opinion, there is nothing better than falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore and waking up to magnificent views of the sun rising over The Atlantic. Take a walk on the beach, or dive in for a dip like I did! (It was March and -4, yes I’m a little crazy!).
2. Everything you need is on site
As a mom, it’s so nice to take a mental load off, and when you stay at White Point Beach Resort you can forget planning, organizing and driving from place to place. Everything you need is right here on location. From morning to night there is something to do for everyone in the family.
3. The activities are already planned out for your kids
Whether your child is 5 or 15, there are fun things to do for all ages. When we arrived, we were greeted with an Activities Calendar that listed all the fun activities going on throughout the week. They have organized crafts set up in the Kid’s Zone throughout the day to roasting marshmallows at the campfire at night.
For older kids they have a games room complete with a pool table, foosball table, and ping pong! They also have movie nights. I ran into my friend there who has two older kids and she and her husband dropped them off at the movie night and went into the lounge to have a drink and watch the live music! Sounds like the perfect set up to me!
4. The food is delicious
You can choose to dine in Elliot’s Dining room, or Founder’s Lounge which is right next door. I’m not sure which is better, the view or the food! You can find a selection of local craft beer and wine on their menu, along with a selection of East Coast dishes. Some of my favourites were the Fish Tacos, Oysters, Seafood and Corn Chowder, and the Lobster Poutine! During busy periods, the restaurant also offers a buffet which was my son’s favourite part!
PRO TIP: Before booking, I recommend checking out the Family Beach Getaway Package. It includes two nights accommodations and all meals for four people! Oh and bonus! Kids 5 years and under eat for free during your stay!
5. The live entertainment is phenomenal
One of my favourite parts of the whole trip was relaxing in the lounge listening to Kim Dunn entertain us with his incredible singing and piano playing. Entertainment starts at 7pm and kids are allowed in the lounge, so we brought a few activity books to keep them busy, and it was the perfect way to end the evening.
6. The bunnies!
Did you know that there are cute little bunnies all around Whitepoint? Grab some bunny food from the front desk, and get outside for a little bunny hunt! Some will even feed right out of you hand. Fun for all ages! Speaking of animals, Whitepoint has specific dog friendly accommodations if you want to bring your furry friend along!
7. The cozy fireplace
Inside the lounge is the largest, coziest fireplace I have ever seen. I highly recommend borrowing one of the board games they have there (we brought our favourite game from home) and snag the couches by the fireplace to play. It’s a great way for your family to bond in such a soothing environment.
8. Indoor pool and hot tub
Who doesn’t love an indoor pool and hot tub!? I swear, my 4 year old daughter did not stop smiling from the moment we got in that pool until we got out! The kids had so much fun, and let me tell you – they were zonked by the end of the day because of it. My 6 year old was begging to go to bed! 😂 While the kids played in the pool with their dad, I snuck into the hot tub for some relaxation. Our biggest regret was not hitting up the pool more because we saw how much fun the kids had in it!
9. The spa
Moms! I’m talking to YOU! Book an appointment at the spa and take some time away from your family. Relax with a massage, Reiki, body wrap or hand and foot treatment. If the spa is not your thing, check the activity calendar for when they offer free yoga sessions in the main lodge! Definitely another great way to relax and de-stress.
10. YOU DESERVE IT!
We all deserve some time away to relax and have fun! (Especially after the last two years we have had). Our weekend away at White Point allowed us to relax and reconnect as a family. We never ran out of things to do – in fact, we wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you White Point for hosting us and we can’t wait to come back again!
