Victoria Beach is a slice of paradise on Lake Ontario - with clean sandy shores, a boardwalk, inviting water for swimming, and beach canteen. Located next to Victoria Park, the area offers excellent facilities, including a playground, splash pad, picnic tables and information booth. Lifeguard and first aid equipment are also at the beach for the safety of beachgoers. Throughout the summer, the area is bustling with visitors as people come together to enjoy outdoor movies, theatre performances and concerts at the park's pavilion. Within a short walk of the beach, is Cobourg's heritage downtown. There you will find a plethora of small shops and restaurants wrapped in Cobourg's small-town charm. The town of Cobourg also encourages environmentally-friendly travel with its cycling path leading up to beachside bike racks. Don't miss this gem of a beach!

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
