Cobourg's West Beach is located just west of Victoria Park. This beach has a mix of pebbles and sand, a naturalized grass area and a boardwalk that runs from Hibernia Street to Ontario Street. We have an Ecology Garden to the north, which is a naturalized garden maintained by our local residents.
The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit annually monitors the recreational water quality at public beaches each year for levels of E. coli bacteria and Blue-Green Algae (cyanobacteria) from the beginning of June until the end of August. If a beach is deemed unsafe to swim, it’s due to high counts of bacteria in the water. View the current beach water quality testing results.
