Having heard great things about Miquelon from Val...and then reading Cori's reviews on LP...we finally ventured down to Miquelon Lake.....
Miquelon Lake Provincial Park is located just SE of us really....not far at all but we had never been...mainly because the entire park was closed last year for renovations....
We had heard that since it reopened in June it was wonderful with clean sand and clean warm waters........I plan to go there this week with the children so I wanted to know where it was...what the parking was like etc and if it was suitable for me to take all 5 kids and maybe a friend or two for the day.....
Well its LOVELY! The sand is so clean and soft (and HOT!) and the water was warm and clear and just soooo inviting! We didn't stay long because the heat was just awful and we hadn't planned to swim or anything - just have a drive to see what was there....but we paddled and the children played at the playground.....and I sooooo wanted to swim! So we will be back there at some point this week to swim and sunbathe and relax for the day :)
I think its going to be a place that we go a LOT...so close by...so convenient and so much fun for my older three as they outgrow the splashpark in the next year or so......
Susie and I walked into the water and she was grinning and saying how it even smells like the beaches back home - and that there were even seagulls flying about and she wondered if they were after her chips! (One stole a fry from her when she was little on the beach in England)
