We went to buy the local beer to take back home. The staff was absolutely friendly and had quite the sense of humour. We didn’t stay to have a drink ‘cause we were driving (no drinking and driving allowed) ever. The environment was interesting and I loved the decor. Definitely recommend this place.

Reviewed By SarahKraus - Edmonton, Canada

We came just to see the beautiful views. They really are stunning. Lots of picnic tables and playgrounds too, water is sandy though the beach is not. Large bathrooms. We walked all along the shore nearly to Kinsmen beach. Highly recommend.
