Joel Stone Beach — Attraction in Ontario

There are also a couple picnic tables.

There is also a floating dock for diving thus the loud fun noises. Also of note, is a small water park for the tiny tots to run around in. Note: no dogs allowed in...

We were very pleased with our visit to the Joel Stone Beach. There is lots of sand to lay on, the water is quite clean and there's even a dock and floating raft that can be used for diving off. We had no trouble finding a tree to sit under and even make use of one of the Adirondack chairs that are provided. There are also plenty of treat and food vendors near by, all within walking distance. Even the parking was no trouble. You may have to pay a few dollars, but it wasn't too expensive. We will be coming back to this place, now that we know it is such a nice...
