    Graves Island is a jewel in the crown of Nova Scotia provincial parks.  Located just outside of Chester, Graves Island offers several attractions.

    For the daytripper, there are picnic grounds, a playground for the kiddos, walking trails, kite-flying fields and a tiny beach.  Not much beats hanging out on a quilt under your beach umbrella while the kiddos bounce in the shallow waves.

    If you're planning a multi-day stay, the campground offers many amenities that have been upgraded in recent years.  A modern wash-house offers hot showers and flush toilets - a real improvement!  Campsites are generous and mostly secluded, allowing you to enjoy nature without being on top of your neighbour.

    Costs are reasonable, although regulations have tightened up in the last few years.  Don't let that stop you, though - Graves Island truly has to be experienced to be believed.
