Topsail Beach Rotary Park in Conception Bay South Newfoundland is just four minutes from my house and a regular part of our lives all year round. It is a popular location destination that is great for the entire family. That is likely due the wide variety of activities that are available here for many adventure seekers.

Topsail Beach
Topsail Beach looks across Conception Bay South to three islands (Bell Island, Little Bell Island and Kelly's Island). It has panoramic views that provide a wonderful display of the power of the Atlantic Ocean. Like most beaches in Newfoundland, it is covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes with only a small amount of sand, if the tide is out.

Topsail Beach Rotary Park
The park has picnic areas, a playground, a gazebo, and access to local hiking trails. The development of this park by the town of Conception Bay South has lead to accessible paths to the beach, fire pits and the picnic areas. There is also a washroom that is open seasonally.

Activities at Topsail Beach
Locally this beach is most well known as a bonfire beach. On any nice evening you will find numerous fires lined along the beach with friends and families gathered. However, during the day you can use a kayak, paddleboard or bring your snorkel gear if you are up the cold plunge into the Atlantic Ocean. The other great thing about this Park is that if you are unsure about the ocean, there is a freshwater pond that is also home to local ducks. It is unsupervised public swimming so be sure you know your abilities before you get into the water.

Hiking at Topsail Beach
In the summer months it is hard to find a parking spot, especially on days with special events or holidays. This Park is the starting point of the East Coast Trail (Long Shore Path) as well as the Topsail Beach Bluff Trail. A walk along the beach towards the point is also popular as it leads to a Quartz Crystal outcrop that is known locally as the Topsail Beach Cave. It is a great location to watch the sunset, but bring a friend who can help you climb the short rope.

Directions to Topsail Beach Rotary Park
Topsail Beach is located on Topsail Beach Road, just off Topsail Road as you leave Paradise and head to Conception Bay South. There is a small green sign on the side of the road, which can be easily missed. Therefore, I recommend using navigation to assist and be aware it is at the curve in the road.
Once you turn down the narrow street, go slow. It is a narrow road that at one bend requires you to watch a mirror along the fence to ensure traffic in the other direction is aware of you, and vice versa.

Recommended for a visit to St. John's
I would recommend this Park to anyone who was visiting the St. John's, Newfoundland area for it's picturesque view all year round. There are many options to entertain all ages.
