An amazing feat the best one in Ottawa in my opinion I've been to all of them but I believe this is by far the best one to go to have a great Vibe and atmosphere and lots of nice people there is a place to get food so expensive still worth it and there's usually live music going on especially on the weekends but even on weekdays sometimes. 4 days a week I believe it is. There is a lifeguard on duty through the summer from sometime in the morning until 7 p.m. everyday I am pretty sure so it's good to have the little ones there to play in the water and have someone there to protect your life if you start to drown there's a nice area set up in the water where it doesn't go over many people's heads you have to accompany any child under 7 to go in the water with them which is not a big deal. You'd probably want to be there with them anyway. There is lots of grassy and shady areas as well as a large sham area making your choice sand or pretty comfortable grass to look out across the water. it's a fun place to go I've been there many times myself and I can't wait to go again. Once again I think it's the best beach there...

I had a great experience at Westboro Beach! It recently reopened after major renovations, and it definitely shows — everything feels clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. The walking paths, benches, and lookout points are lovely, and I really enjoyed the walk around the park. 🏞️

The café on-site is a great addition — the food was delicious and the atmosphere relaxing. ☕🍴

There is paid parking right next to the beach, but if you don’t mind walking 5 to 10 minutes, there’s also free street parking nearby. 🚗

The only thing that stood out as a downside was seeing a lot of flies hovering above the water near the beach area, which was a bit unpleasant. Also, I didn’t see any lifeguards during my visit, which could be important to note for families or swimmers. 🪰🚫

Overall, it’s a beautiful place to visit, and it’s exciting to see how much it’s improved after the $21M...

Westboro Beach is a small fun place to go to on a hot summer day to enjoy the Ottawa river, the beach and waterfront. On special weekends there is live outdoor music playing, mostly Latino. This adds a lot of fun and diversity to Ottawa. So lets get ready to Salsa! The pavillion area is supported by bathrooms, canteen and an outdoor bar where alcohol and meals are available.

The City of Ottawa NCC will be closing the pavillion and beach areas for the summer of 2022 to make needed renovations to the Pavillion, parking lot and to build a new lifeguard station. Also note: There will be detours around this area due to construction.

If you like my reviews, photos or videos why not join the festival at the beach when it is all fixed up and dance like you don't care who...

Westboro Beach is one of the nicest spots in Ottawa to unwind by the water. It’s clean, well-maintained, and offers a beautiful view of the Ottawa River, especially during sunset. The recent upgrades made a big difference — there are new facilities, washrooms, and a great walking and biking path connecting to the parkway. In summer, it’s perfect for swimming, picnics, or just relaxing on the sand. The beach has a calm, friendly vibe and feels like a mini escape from the city without going far. Parking can get busy on warm days, but it’s definitely worth the visit! The beach area is not that long. I guess it would be pretty packed in summer time. Overall nice small beach .
