Squish the sand between your toes as you and the kids stroll out far from shore at the main beach.  Or, grab your hats and amble down the shoreline trail to the sand dunes, where wind, weather and time have created an intriguing backdrop to a beach peach perfect for private sunbathing.

There's an 18-hole mini-golf facility, a summertime food concession, tennis courts and superb beach volleyball courts that have hosted the provincial playoffs.  Rental accommodations, an 18-hole, grass-green golf course with restaurant, as well as groceries, gas and liquor are all located less than 2 km from the park boundary.

The Trans Canada Trail and a self-interpretive sand dunes trail are two of many park paths offering hikers and cyclists - and cross-country skiers, in wintertime - an opportunity to exercise and explore.  Watch for fox, coyote, deer and rabbit in the dunes area, and moose and elk elsewhere.  Grosbeaks, waxwings, sharp-tailed grouse and numerous water birds are common sights in the park, as well.
