Cute, went in May and the water was so cold. Intimate but tiny. Not much to do.

Wonderful bay, clear water and great scenario. Too bad the beach reserved to tourists is 1/10th or less of the available beach. And guess what? The rest of the “private beach” is totally empty. But still worth a visit and a swim.

Pros:
-the sand is nice, white, and soft
-clear beautiful water

Cons:
-The public part of the beach is so small, can only fit a few groups of people
-At the time of writing this (July 5th) the water is extremely cold compared to Sauble beach an hour away
-parking is 5$/hr, 30$ for the day

Its an extremely nice beach, unlike anything in Ontario. There is public access but MUST BE WARNED, it is a very small section and the way it’s shared with private property is extremely weird. It’s like a small border between.

If you’re here for the beach: it’s not really worth it despite the nice landscape and beautiful view. The part of the beach that is accessible to the public is unfortunately only very small about 10-20 meters wide and surrounded by “private property”. For me personally, it just evoked anger at the fact that people can own such a beautiful beach and that it was therefore withheld from the general public. It was also quite disappointing to pay for parking for this. There is however a beautiful section of the Bruce trail nearby which I can only recommend to hike and take a look at!
