Lawrencetown is beautiful, but ocean surf can be serious. Great for older kids who love beaches, but I would be careful with little ones. Pick the beach based on your kids, not just the prettiest photos.

Answers & Discussion
A lake cottage can be easier than ocean with younger kids because the water is usually calmer. Just check dock safety, water depth and whether life jackets are provided. Photos do not always show the risky parts.
Hubbards is a good family area because you get beaches, a community feel and you are not completely isolated. It is easy enough to get groceries or drive somewhere for food if the kids get restless.
