About Murray Beach
Murray Beach is a small but distinctive stretch of shoreline along the Northumberland Strait in Marshville, known for its warm waters, tidal flats, and quiet rural setting.
It is made up of a mix of natural sand and gravel. Like many beaches along the Strait, Murray Beach is shaped by the region’s dramatic tides, which expose wide sandbars at low water. Visitors can walk far out across the flats, combing for shells and sea glass, or simply enjoy the expansive views across to Prince Edward Island on a clear day.
The waters here are among the warmest north of the Carolinas, a hallmark of the Northumberland Strait, making it a comfortable swimming spot in summer.
