D-Land
Edit SpotAbout
Its fun when it goes off. It costs money and takes work to access but on rare occasions it can be worth it, especially if you are a longboarder and aren't afraid of shallow water and rocks
Atmosphere:
Just be cool with the landowners adjacent to the provincial park or they will call the cops! Watch your head if you fall, water is shallow and rocky! Bring an epoxy board those rocks will wreck a glass board quickly.
Additional Info:
Rock Point park also has camping available and washrooms, showers. Park at the end of the road. Paddle out from the bay near the point straight toward Buffalo into the lineup. You'll need a friend to drive the car to bring you back into lineup; some rides on a good day will take you from Dland all the way past chickencoops. Current near impossible to paddle against, unless you paddle out into the middle of the bay where the rip will take you back out to Dland
