About Waterside Beach Provincial Park
Waterside Beach Provincial Park is a small provincial park in the community of Waterside, near the west end of Caribou Island. It features a large sandy beach, several salt marshes, and warm waters thanks to the Northumberland Strait.
The family friendly park includes several facilities, including a picnic area with tables, a change house, toilets, a parking area, and boardwalks to guide people to designated areas and keep them from protected ones.
The protected salt marsh and intertidal zones help support shorebird and marine habitats. Many species of birds and animals have been spotted here. Some bird species found at the park are classed as critically imperilled and considered to be vulnerable to extirpation or extinction.
