A provincial park, Melmerby Beach gives an amazing view of the coast. The name of the beach comes from the ship that sunk at this site in 1890 on route to Quebec City. Of the 20 people on the crew, only 5 survived, despite the best efforts of the local people, who even formed a human chain to help save the crew. The beach has a supervised swimming area, a parking lot, a canteen, showers, a boat launch and washrooms. Beach hazards include jellyfish and poision ivy in the dunes.
Melmerby Beach is tested twice per summer.
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.
