This seems to be a popular spot, which we happened upon by accident. Â There is a small parking area which can easily be missed, and a narrow sand beach, which is used for swimming and kayaking. Â We don’t know who manages this area, but there was a porta-potty, and an information sign about wildlife. Â There […]
This is a nice park close to downtown Bridgetown, which has a number of cute restaurants and shops.  There is a dock and swimming platform, and a designated swimming area.  The beach is a mixture of grass and sand, with lots of shade trees.  There is an interesting  dam area to the left of the […]
On Route 35/37 there seem to be a number of small dirt pull-offs where people swim off of the rocks. Â The source we found said that the boat ramp is a common place to swim, and that there is a rope swing nearby. Or GPS coordinates are for the boat ramp, but we didn’t see […]
There are two locations on Sewell Pond-one is roadside and was fairly crowded when we visited, so we couldn’t get many pictures, but the other one is nicer anyway. The first area is at +43 52.143, -069 46.993, and is just a little pull off where the water comes close to Arrowsic Road as you […]

A small park on the ocean with picnic tables and pavilion. We were here at low tide so there was a medium sized beach area, mix of sand and large boulders. It looks like during high tide the beach may disappear or become very small, however there is plenty of grass and picnic table right by […]
This is an oceanside town park, with a swimming beach and dock. Â The park is close to the outlet shopping in Freeport, so you could easily do both. Â There is camping available, and a playground with a wooden ark. Â The park was quiet and clean, and very peaceful when we where here. There are also […]

We believe it is most likely that people swim near the larger fall, but […]
