Five Islands

Has anyone been to Five Islands Provincial Park in Nova Scotia? What is it like? How is the water for swimming? Is there anything specific I should look for when I am there?

I don't know anything about the provincial park, but I do love the town of Parrsboro which is nearby. A great summer theatre, historic house to explore, dinosaur museum, and every stone on the 'beach' has a fossil in it (slight exaggeration). Take a look at this website:

We loved our weekend at Five Islands two years ago. We didn't swim, but did some beachcombing. We took a day and went to the museum in Parrsboro. The park had some nice trails and the kids liked the playground.
