A few weeks ago I was looking for more information on the Charles Daley Park dynamic lagoon. I came upon the 2009 study of south shore beaches. I had no idea that there were 58 distinct shoreline areas. The formal definition is 'reaches'. These are "a length of shoreline having common physiographic characteristics, shore dynamics, environmental elements and land use."
Our pictures today include Port Dalhousie's lighthouses from the west side - from Lakeside Park. It is 28 on the map. At the shore is what remains of the amusement park at Lakeside Park. All that's left is the antique Carousel which has been beautifully preserved. One can still ride for 5 cents in the summer. Lakeside Park has a long, long sandy beach with great views of the sky in both directions. It seems particularly exposed here. The day of these pictures there were huge waves beating a frozen shoreline. In Grimsby there was no ice on the shore yet.
We'll be visiting many of these points on the south shore and see what these different reaches have to offer.
