"This Wellington Street natural wine bar has a wooden terrasse that offers beachy, boardwalk energy. Its wine list features over 100 options (primarily Western European), and its smoked mackerel and roasted chicken with ranch dressing make for impeccable outdoor dining among friends." - Valerie Silva
"Identifying as a “guinguette” (a colloquial term once used to describe popular watering holes in the suburbs of Paris), this Wellington Street wine bar in the heart of Verdun offers wines from Spain, Italy, and France and serves a dozen or so plates to nibble on." - Daniel Bromberg
Small but cute beach.
Great for kids, as you can keep a close eye on them and it's not too crowded if you get there early. It opens at 10am.
The lifeguards are very nice and vigilant.
It's a free beach, but the parking if you choose to be close by will cost you about $16 for the day, or you can pay per as many hours as needed.
There are mobile bathrooms available up the hill that are kept clean 2 minutes from the beach.
The beach has little fish and sea weed. The water is refreshing on a not day. Bring your own shade with a sun umbrella or tent, as the entire beach you are under the sun.

A real gem in Verdun, great vibe!
Water can get quite cold and murky but great for cooling off or going for a quick swim. Great place to tan too.
The grounds and changing rooms are generally well kept, even more so than the locker rooms at the nearby pool.
Can get sketchy in the evening though, particularly on the eastern end, I’ve seen drug use and some very intoxicated people. Be vigilant. There’s limited security during the day, but it can be anarchy in the evening.

Small, dense beach when I went on a Friday evening, but very clean and fun. Everyone was nice and it’s so seamlessly integrated into the neighborhood and the park surrounding. 1 lane at the end for laps and water was brisk and cool. Probably goes up to 6 feet

Very small family beach with a small swim area and murky muddy water. I couldn't even get my feet in the water today because they had a sewage overflows somewhere in the area. Lifeguards were very nice. The only good thing about it is that it's in close proximity to a really good thrift store and a really good boulangerie.

A good attempt to make a beach like ambience on a riverbank! Appreciable as they arranged safe zone for swimming, toilets , changing rooms, sand bank, gardens, kids slides, climbs and big rocks to diminish the strength of current near the beach!!

It was great to spend such a hot day in this place. I liked the side of the beach I was in, it was peaceful and nice. The other side of the beach was horrible, a lot of people leaving their beer cans around and their garbage and listening to very loud music, it was very disturbing to walk around that part :(

Still under construction, open to the public but I do not see how they can isolate that portion of the water to make sure it is safe to swim, other than that, it is a good place to have a picnic, chill with friends and get a tan. It gets super crowded as it was just opened. I believe it will get better with time when they finish it totally.
