The beach was packed and for the most part it was glorious weather for the weekend of August 4-6, 2023.
Cobourg seems to be the destination hot spot for not only the beach, but sailing and fishing off of Cobourg Harbour on Lake Ontario.
Without lifeguards, a watercraft seemed to snug in between the bathers on Saturday. People waited patiently in line for food on a blistering hot day.
Along the roadways, by-law officers did a great job checking vehicles. One vehicle was believed to have been towed on Saturday after blocking a driveway. Another was issued a ticket for parking the wrong way on Charles Street which is a one-way street.
Approximately 20 porta-potties have been set up along the beach for the upcoming Sandcastle Festival, and birds including cormorants and terns were resting on the east pier.
It was a busy weekend in Cobourg and everyone seemed to be enjoying the summer weather.
