DESCRIPTION

Munroes Island is a 10 km return hike up one side of the island, around its tip, then back
down the same trail.  

The walk along the island accesses sandy beaches, rocky shoreline, tidal salt marshes, and 
is an ideal spot to view shore birds.  Other activities may include supervised swimming in 
the summer and rock/shell collecting.  The Island is to become a national protected zone. 

The trail is accessible to walkers and hikers from the Provincial Park campground, where 
camping, picnic, and beach facilities are all available. 

NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES ARE PERMITTED ON THE ISLAND.
