Great Beach with beautiful sand and waves. You can walk for miles without getting bored, as there are lots of interesting treasures to find along the shore.

Warm water, sandy beach, sheltered picnic spots, toilets, change rooms - everything you need for a great swim and picnic. The beach is long, so you can get a spot to yourselves or stay close to the parking and amenities. Either way, this is a must-do spot for swimming. Gentle waves at the shore make it safe for small children. A bit of a walk to get deep enough for a real swim, but the water is safe and the waves aren't as rough as some other spots in the area.

Came here today in November. Was cold, but what do you expect. There were a lot of surfers in the area jumping the waves! Very cool spot!

As we were doing a one day drive of the Cabot Trail, I tried to pick a few places to stop to enjoy views or hike. I saw the beach from a distance, and then saw the entrance. I had my husband pull in and I was so glad we did! Not only did I get the opportunity to dip my feet (well, up to my knees) in the ocean (I live in Ohio now — and, no, Lake Erie is not like the ocean) but we managed to climb up the rocks to view the beautiful waterfall at the end of the beach. There was a good collection of people (mostly couples or families) enjoying the beach, but it wasn’t so crowded that I felt bothered. Yes, the water is cold, but there were three younger teens having a blast jumping the waves, and other people in their bathing suits. Definitely a place I would recommend for anyone — even if you just eat your picnic lunch there.

This is a beautiful beach with lots of parking and because it is not close to major towns or cities it was not crowded. The Quarterdeck Resort is close by and their restaurant is right overlooking the beach.

This beach surpasses how it looks in photos. Generous long beach with pinkish/red sand reached by either a handicap path or set of wood steps with railings. Outhouse toilet at top of stairs as well as changing room in the park near parking lot. Gentle surf, clean, but some good sized jellyfish--a seasonal thing. People swimming in water but were mindful of jellyfish as they were big enough to be seen. Big enough for social distancing with ease during the time of Covid.
