This is such a great spot! Great park for a picnic, to just to enjoy the nice weather or enjoy the sunset. It’s also a great place to go Kayaking, Paddle boarding & Canoeing. As for swimming, it’s a nice spot but you may not like it if you don’t like feeling seaweed and such in certain spots. But the water’s calm and warm these days. Definitely a go to spot for my family and I.

Perfect spot for a kayaking or a small boat. There is a deck so you can lower your boat. Also there are a couple of spots near the island where you can fish. It’s amazing for a family picnic or bbq. I would recommend going before the sun set about two hours and enjoy the view and the good weather.

Small but nice beach area with short walk along the shoreline. You can rent canoes and kayaks there and the water it pretty calm so a nice easy paddle if that's what your looking for. If you drive further down the road past Shirley's Bay there are some more trails that are worth checking out if your in the area

It's winter and everything was snowy. Very beautiful. At this particular location there was car parking and two longdrop toilets. One of them was out of order, but the other was much appreciated. I'll have to come back here in the summer. :-)

This is a nicely tucked away little park here at Shirley’s Bay. There isn’t much too it but it has a nice gazebo with tables to have a lunch or just relax with a coffee. Nice views of the bay and the boat ramp. I believe you can also access this park if you leave your car at Shirley’s Bay Trail parking and make it all the way here. It’s quite the hike but it’s very nice along the way. They have a few nice Adirondack chairs so you can sit and enjoy the view. 👍😎

Best after work boating port. Super wide view, very gradual shore. Can take trailer right into water. Suitable for any water sports. Best part is super close to work/home. Simply perfect place.
