About Fox Island Beach

Fox Island Beach is a hidden treasure within the Fox Island Provincial Park on the Northumberland Strait. Connected to the mainland by a tombolo (sandbar), the island offers unique beach walking with water on both sides. The warm, calm waters and beautiful coastal scenery make this a peaceful escape. The park is also excellent for bird watching during migration seasons.
