What a great discovery we just made! A tranquil, peaceful beach surrounded by a lush forest, just over an hour from Ottawa. 😍

If you’re tired of competing for a good spot at crowded beaches every weekend, this is a great place to check out.

Murphy’s Point Provincial Park is on the way to Perth, about 70 minutes from Ottawa.

Admission is $18 per vehicle any day of the week.

Canoe rentals are available for $28 for two hours.

There are no lifeguards on duty, so swim at your own risk. There’s also a small store where you can grab snacks and ice cream.

On your way back to Ottawa, consider stopping in Perth for a visit. It’s such a beautiful town and don’t miss Stewart Park, it’s absolutely gorgeous and the perfect place for a stroll.

Murphy’s Point Provincial Park: 2243 Elm Grove Rd, Perth.

Save this spot for your next beach day! ☀️
