You don't have to go to Florida or Prince Edward Island, or even make the trek to Muskoka, to find a beach the whole family can enjoy!
Our family recently spent a Sunday afternoon at Kelso beach, about 20 minutes drive from Oakville - and had a blast! It cost us just under $20 for a family of four (kids 4 and under are free so we had one freebie and one paying child).
The kids had a blast digging in the sand, the water was super warm and well patrolled by lifeguards. Lots of shallow area for little ones to splash around in and enough deeper area for those beginner swimmers.
You can bring whatever you want food-wise, and they also had concession stands open for ice cream and the usual beach fare.
Great people-watching too! Some families got really into it and brought bbqs, tents, etc. It seems that anything goes at the beach!
It was pretty busy on the weekend, but still not hard to find a place to settle in. Weekdays are probably less busy - keep in mind that daycamps use the beach, but apparently they keep to one side so there is still plenty of room for public use.
Check out Kelso and other great Halton Conservation area attractions for a fun family event this summer. momstown Oakville has lots of fun events going on as well - our new member meet-up and Baby Book Club is this week at Coronation Park - click here to sign up for a free trial and join us!

Kelso is a great place for a family to have fun and enjoy the water! I would even make the trek from T.Dot for that location!
