This does not really fit the provincial campground mold but is endearing nevertheless. Many of the sites are close together or grouped in threes (ie #4-6), fours (#11-14) or even fives (# 52-56). Many sites have a water view. There are a few relatively private sites such as #10 or #20 (no water view) or #45 (water view). The campground has an extensive picnic area, with numerous picnic tables. The 2 large dishwashing sinks were very handy and placed outside under a small roof. Coronavirus precautions were in place in the washrooms. Staff was on top of things, making sure that people were quiet in the later evening. Our stay was pleasant.

We thoroughly enjoyed hiking this trail, it really had a little bit of everything. A beautiful beach, stunning water views, and stunning treks through wooded areas. The walk through the fir trees was one of my favourite portions of the trail, the smell was amazing. There are some exposed roots in places and the walk across the beach rocks is a little challenging on the ankles, but overall a pretty easy to moderate trail. I recommend walking the farm land area over the hill instead of the entire beach as it gives you a break from the sea rocks. The owners have it marked and don’t mind as long as the horses are not in the field. Once you get to the loop we went to the right first. It means you finish on the water view side of the trail. The trail in total including walking Hirtle Beach is about 6.6 km. We finished the entire trail in about 90 mins, this included stopping for pics etc. I highly recommend for anyone of any age, definitely a trail I’d return to.

We are walking Graves Island Park 4/6 times a week, with Covid-19 with us the park is busy , parking lot has normally 12 or more vehicles, a great ans safe area to walk with pets, ice is gone ! South Shore Rocks is a group of painters who share their skills with very nice sketches painted on small stones hidden along the trail, suggesting to re-hide, take home or just take a picture and share on F/B South Shore Rocks. Lots of small birds[many like to be fed] on land and sea. This is a nice quiet place to have a peaceful walk.

We went to Crescent Beach in October on the last day of the season. Zero crowds. Had it all to ourselves. Cool, but beautiful. VERY picturesque. Could sit there all day listening to the waves crashing the shore.

Privateer Park is my favourite place to go walking and biking, or just to sit by the water and relax and enjoy the view. I love it when the Roses are all in bloom and I can smell them.. Great place for a picnic with friends too. It is my most relaxing place.
