Amazing that you are at the river one minute and then surprised by this beach just a mins drive down the road! We accidentally found it while exploring North Shore. Great view of Port Mac and the Car Ferry ride is fun to catch to get there. $5 per vehicle each way

The access road (pt omer rd) is horrible with huge potholes that dont stop, 4wd with large water holes after rain. Dangerous surf. Vehicular traffic on the beach which cant be heard over the surf. Take great care with little kids here for these reasons.
