To the people who park in the turnaround circle at Clover Point...
I hope that each seagull takes one of your fries. I hope the otter on the east side of the rocks poops under your car. I hope a kite surfer gets really close and it dips down rapidly, startling you so you mildly wrench your shoulder while ducking. I hope 17 pigeons decide your…
Parking at Clover Point
You know, if the City ever wants to make some fast cash they could just station someone at Clover Point and ticket everybody that illegally parks in the roundabout despite the sign that says no parking. You’d probably make an easy $1,000 a day, minimum. Last 3 days in a row I’ve…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the stunning ocean views and the exciting spectacle of windsurfers and kite flyers. It's a highly-rated spot for picnics, walks, and dog-friendly adventures. Some mention the wind can be strong, and parking can be challenging during busy periods.
"We love the view here! It's a perfect spot to watch the wind surfers and kite flyers, as well as being a nice spot for a picnic break. It's a must whenever we are in town to stop here for a bit of a break!"

"Love coming here with our family to walk the paths and take in the views. Often quite windy but such a great experience with so much shoreline access. Often more surfers and paraglides can be viewed here playing in the wind and waves."
Greg Duerksen - Real Estate
"Beautiful open view of the ocean. Great place to have a bike ride or take your fur babies🐕. There are stairs approximately 400 meters apart leading down to the beach below. Amazing place for pictures for sure, especially sunsets. Plenty of people trying to get in their vitamin D and exercise, so remember to be mindful of your distancing. Beach is more rocky in places than sand when you first get down the stairs. Great place for picnics or just plain old fashioned relaxing on the beach"
