The Cobourg Beach is a large beach that has several lifeguard towers, beautiful white sand, and access to the peer. In the summer it is a hub for sun bathers, lovers, sandcastles, picnics, volleyball tournaments, and swimmers. The Canada Day celebrations are the highlight of the summer with huge arts and crafts tents, midway, and fireworks. Even though most of... More

I'm from the U.S and visited for the Aug. long weekend. I gave the low rating because of the crowded conditions and not enough bathroom facilities.

This beach was beautiful to walk along in the winter. Looking out onto the water with the lighthouse in the distance was a great photo-op.

Wide, sandy beach leading into a gently shelving warm Lake Ontario. Particularly pleasant during the week when it is less crowded.

The beach in Cobourg has a lot to offer. There is a great campground right at the beach which is very popular and lots to do. Bands and other activities happen throughout the week at the bandshell. The sand is plentiful and clean. It is really close to downtown Cobourg and its many boutique type stores and cafes. Only drawback... More
