Long Point

    Why hit the beach at Long Point Provincial Park?

     

    Long Point Provincial Park is home to a 40-kilometre-long sandspit. The natural landscape is so unique it’s been recognized as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

    Long Point also features mats to make the beach more accessible to people using wheelchairs or strollers.
