About Summerville Beach

Summerville Beach is a classic South Shore sandy beach in Queens County, offering warm waters and gentle surf ideal for swimming. The provincial park features a large parking area, changerooms, and a scenic boardwalk. Located along the Lighthouse Route, it's a popular stop between Liverpool and Port Mouton, with nearby accommodations and restaurants. The dunes behind the beach provide critical habitat for piping plovers, an endangered shorebird — please stay on designated paths to protect their nests.
