F.A.Q.

​

Where is the boat launch located?

There is a local boat launch 2 minutes down the road at the very opposite end of the beach

(On the highway, drive over the channel and into the park on your right hand side)

Can I park my boat at Barefoot Resort?

you are permitted to park your boat in our main parking lot at a cost of $100.00 CAD (add this fee to your reservation when you book). We ask that you park respectfully leaving appropriate room for other guests. Our parking lot is a first come first serve basis, that said it is a large lot with lots of room.

​

Beach access by boat?

You are able to pull your boat up onto the shore of our beach at the far left hand side (near the off-leash dog area) away from the roped off swimming area in the water. We insist you use extreme caution  and a very slow no-wake pace when pulling up as there are many families who use our beach that have young children.
