We had a great time visiting the beach here! It's a very pretty, family friendly place with beautiful lush greenery surrounding the walkways down to the water. Dog friendly as well! There are some larger rock formations and during high tide, the waves splash against them and create some awesome photo opps. Highly recommend! We have a beach just 5 min away from our home but we prefer driving the extra 15 minutes to this one.

We found Ocean Reef Park simply driving through the area. The kids were in the car a bit and needed to run around a little break. The kids had a great time playing on the slides, kids love sandy areas. There's plenty tables spread out more than six feet apart. The best part the parking and beach access free! The people we encounter were very enjoying the beach having a great time. We've been several times already. Great location!!!!

Is there quality snorkeling there?

Carla Piatek | Sep 7, 2018
John Perrault | Sep 7, 2018

Yes. Its best to go at mid to high tide. If you head south of the park, there are a few rock piles worth checking out. Most if the reefs are between the Hilton and the Riviera Public Beach. Make sure to have a dive flag. Also, there is usually a light currently running from south to north. You can also find good snorkeling on the east side if the Blue Heron bridge between mid & high tide.

Lady Kirigan | Sep 7, 2018
Don Dorchester | Sep 7, 2019

Actually, if you set up your chairs, etc to the north ( left) of the guarded area sign and take the same trail that comes out at the covered picnic tables, the lifeguard's are absolutely fine with a well behaved dog and they can swim and enjoy the beautiful beach, too.

Are dogs allowed here?

Ginger Gregory (TheRedR1ghtHand) | Sep 7, 2018

No pets allowed. It's posted on all signs in the park. People may get away with it when the life guards are gone after 5, but it's still patrolled by rangers & local police. There's a great section of off-leash dog beach in Juno just north of the Pier - about a 10 minute drive north of Ocean Reef.

Is this beach hard and compact enough to walk a JOGGING STROLLER?

artina nowlin | Sep 7, 2017
Scott Kammerzell | Sep 7, 2017

The sand was pretty loose. You'd need to be down in the wet sand for a jogging stroller. Otherwise, you'll be getting a heck of a workout pushing sand.
