This year the Civic Holiday in Ontario fell on Monday August 3rd, our third major long weekend of the summer. I felt bad for people who had to deal with a rainy Sunday, but the beach was still packed despite the weather. Monday turned out to be a beauiful day. The featured picture for this post was taken entering the beach at 29 street between Beach areas 4 and 5 on Monday August 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday, August 2nd, 2026 – Visitors huddling under tents and tarps to avoid the rain at Beach Area 5. People were still swimming and enjoying a swim despite the rain. Sometimes rainy days are even more memorable. One of the things I like best about walking down the beach in the summer is the smell of all the great food cooking on portable stoves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, August 3rd, 2026 – Thankfully it cleared up on Monday and turned into a beautiful day. This picture taken at Beach Area 5 with wind coming from the NNE generating whitecaps. The Blue Mountains and Collingwood are visible across the Nottawasaga Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, August 4th, 2026 – Often the parking lots in Beach area 5 are empty on weekdays, but this week there was steady traffic. It’s nice to see lots of visitors from out of province and even the United States enjoying the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday, August 5th, 2026 – This picture taken near Beach Area 2. A cloud passed overhead just as I was taking the picture. The clouds were welcome because a south wind always translates into high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, August 6th, 2026 – The area around Beach 5 was quiet today with most people concentrating around Beach Areas 1 and 2. This picture taken from the beach looking at the new pop-up store at Beach Area 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, August 7th, 2026 – Walking down the road crossing the park area at Beach Area 5 over the lunch hour on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, August 8th, 2026 – This picture taken at Beach area 5 where you can see newly planted trees. In a few years these trees should be providing some welcome shade for visitors to the Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
