Beach description
The width of Cooper Beach is about 90 metres and its length is about 150 metres. The entire coast is covered with very clean fine snow-white sand. The surroundings give it no less picturesque appearance in the form of majestic sand dunes overgrown with sparse vegetation and ancient mansions which are found along the entire coast and that can be seen in the distance. It’s not by chance that many Americans consider this beach a true miracle of American nature on the Atlantic coast.
Cooper Beach is the perfect haven for:
- lovers of seclusion in the off-season;
- families with children, as it is not very crowded. It is shallow near the coast. And the coast is controlled by rescuers in season;
- lovers of long walks along the ocean. On the coast you can see numerous seagulls and admire the spectacular sunsets;
- surfers. Large and noisy waves crash on the coast and beckon to conquer them on a surfboard
Even in season, the long coast is usually not crowded with vacationers. You can always find a place for relative seclusion. Although the beach is protected from the influence of the cold Labrador currents, the ocean waters, even in summer, are quite cool and attract mainly wave sports enthusiasts.
When is the best time to go?
To lay off on the beaches of the mainland, it is best to come in the summer, when a sufficiently warm temperature is settled for swimming. Places like Florida or the Hawaiian Islands are comfortable all year round.
