This is my favourite beach and you will find me there most days. I go for a sunrise stroll, to surf, or just to catch up with friends. The sand is mostly covered at high tide, so if you’re looking for a big walk head over to Conrad at high tide instead. I also prefer Conrad’s for sunset.

Great beach for long walks, lots of sand, swimming. Popular beach for dogs. I go to this beach a couple of times a week for sunset - it is absolutely stunning there. Be sure to stay for 15-30 minutes after the sun goes down to get the glorious colours.

This is a groomed trail that runs along picturesque Lawrencetown. Start at Lawrencetown Beach and head across the road near the first entrance. That direction crosses over a couple of marshes. This is a great trail for a casual stroll or if you want to get in a run/bike/power walk.
