@MacGregorPoint @OntarioParks I have a yurt rented for late May at MacGregor Point, yay, so looking forward to the birds I will see there.
Please Note The beach is CLOSED for kiteboarding/windsurfing from May 1st - June 10th (opens on June 11th) annually. This is in an effort to avoid disturbance to migrating shorebirds, who use our beach to feed and rest during their long journey North.
Good news! Piping Plovers have returned to the shores of Darlington’s beach! This means you will now see a portion of the beach fenced off for their protection. 1/3
