May 2024 5* Visited the place my kids during long weekend. They really enjoyed it and had fun. Beach is mostly rocky so you can not play with sand and build sand castle. However you can still find place next to water area and relax. Don’t forgot to bring your cycle as there is beautiful Harbour trail and you can walk, run or cycle. Water is not very clean as you can see algae but you can still go in the water or do kayaking.

very nice view of lake ontario. you can see toronto from this view and even the CN Tower. the beach is small and has a few rocks in front of it inside the water. i recommend stopping here if you are less than 5 minutes away and taking a walk.

Amazing space to spend time with family. Went there for Victoria Day long weekend and still there was not that much rush. The water was a bit dirty and cold but people were still swimming. Clean beach with free parking. Only issue is a public washroom which is no where to be found around there.

A beautiful spot with soft sand beach and ample shade from the surrounding trees. The greenery and serene atmosphere make it perfect for a relaxing day out. It's well-maintained, clean, and ideal for swimming, picnicking, or simply enjoying nature.
