As the AI suggests above these beaches are significantly man-made and maintained. The summers here aren't really any longer or hotter than Halifax. Vancouver is a much larger city, but Halifax could have some of the same kinds of amenities.
There is Black Rock Beach but it's kind of underwhelming and low on amenities. The Waegwoltic has an outdoor waterfront pool but it's private. Something like an outdoor saltwater pool by King's Wharf and/or a small beach (which they had in some renderings) with city and harbour views would be great. I wonder if it's possible to do some kind of solar heating system that brings in salt water then heats it a bit more.

Halifax should aim for something like Icebergs at Bondi Beach. Nobody should be swimming in harbour water without significant treatment. I'm not sure people are aware how dirty the water actually is.
