Short Beach is a community in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Short Beach is located at 43.9411°N, 66.1493°W.
Short Beach rests along the rugged Atlantic edge, where the land yields to the sea with a quiet, persistent grace. It lies 11.7 km north-north-west of Yarmouth, NS (from Yarmouth, NS: bearing 347°T), and is situated 4.5 km south of Port Maitland. The terrain around Short Beach is defined by the proximity of Holmes Hill, which shelters the shoreline from the worst of the inland winds. Nearby, the stillness of Little Lake holds the morning light in a mirror of dark water, contrasting with the restless, salt-heavy air that defines the coastline. For those seeking the wider reach of the shore, Port Maitland Beach Provincial Park provides a stretch of sand where the Atlantic currents arrive with steady, rhythmic weight. The atmosphere here carries a certain austerity, a clarity that sharpens the edges of the rocks and makes the transition from earth to ocean feel final and absolute. The history of Short Beach is found in the weathered wood of its older structures and the persistence of those who look toward the water for their livelihood. While the Bartletts River winds its way through the landscape some distance away, the local economy has long favored the salt-spray industries, drawing life from the deep-water harvest that sustains the region. Life in Short Beach moves with the shifting tides, and the legacy of earlier generations persists in the way the local folk handle their gear and navigate the unpredictable moods of the coast. Farther inland, the presence of Sweeneys Falls marks a change in the topography, yet the heart of this place stays focused on the horizon, where the sky meets the cold, churning Atlantic.
