Shaw Point Park, Isle Madame

Our first post!
Monday was Victoria Day in Canada, a national holiday and the unofficial start of the summer beach/cottage season. So, we traveled to Isle Madame with 3 friends and had a beach picnic.

What we imagined would be an obscure, out-of-the-way shore park turned out to be a highly popular beach retreat for locals.

Homemade pizza with salmon, goat cheese, dill and capers, plus fresh fruit, Gorgonzola cheese, ice tea and coffee. Then, a long walk on the beach, wading in water still in the 50s.

Best of all (for all the kids) was the swimming hole behind the beach, where the river wound its way to the ocean and the water was warm.
