Latest reviews on Placentia's beaches

Woods Cove beach
8 N. K.

This beach has some strong waves, but the lifeguard is excellent and constantly rescuing swimmers. Despite that, we still had a great time and the beach itself is stunning.

Shaws Cove
10 Lukas Novak.

This secluded beach is a hidden gem, teeming with an abundance of marine life. The rocky cliffs provide a safe haven for young children to play, while the crystal-clear waters offer a refreshing escape from the summer heat. If you're lucky enough to snag a spot on the street, parking is free, but meters are available along the main road. Overall, it's a stunning spot that's well worth a visit. Plus, for added peace of mind, a lifeguard station is conveniently located on the northern end of the beach.

Fishermans Cove beach
10 Mason Drake

This beach is a hidden gem, offering a private and intimate setting with stunning views of the ocean and cliffs. Descend the "secret staircase" and be captivated by the picturesque glimpse of the beach below. Whenever I want to escape the crowds at the popular beaches in Laguna Beach, I love coming here. It's conveniently located right next to Diver's Cove and Heisler Park, just a short walk away. This little cove is secluded, peaceful, and usually devoid of beachgoers, with only a few exceptions. Moreover, the waves are gentle enough for comfortable floating and swimming. And don't forget to explore the tide pools beyond the gazebo on the cliff!

China Cove

A must-visit for those who appreciate the beauty of nature in its purest form.
