There are little open huts for picnics to protect from the wind, or you can go across the bridge and hide in the dunes. We were there in mid May and it was not yet open (check times). The facilities are apparently good, if they...More

Singing Sands!

Amazing beach, very popular! When walking on the sands you can hear them sing, which is very cool to experience! Further down there is red cliffs to enjoy and explore. There are some amenities - food and such - available at the beach. Highly recommend!

Georgous Beach

This must be one of the best beaches in Canada. We must have walked 5 kms north along the beach and enjoyed our selves immensely. Worth the drive from Georgetown.
