Getting down to the beach itself is possible via a wheelchair accessible ramp (the same one as described higher) but riding a wheelchair on the beach itself will probably not be possible. People in wheelchairs can ask the park attendants to get access to the parking near the beach. A one-way trip costs 2 CA$ per person and toddlers are free. If you prefer not to walk, there is a paying shuttle service from the park entrance down to the viewing platforms. Given the soil, I recommend wearing walking shoes or Wellington boots. Once at the beach, I recommend first walking to the right until the end, which is a few hundred yards over stones or slightly muddy patches, then walking back, continuing past the staircase and walking to the far left end of the beach where a ramp takes you back up to the trail. From the platform you can take a staircase with a few flights of steps down to the beach itself. The trail there is about 1 km and has a gentle slope that should be doable for most people. Visit at low tide if you want to walk between the rocks. I believe there is both a low and high tide everyday.Įxceptional natural beauty. They do have vantage points in case you cannot use the stairs. It's a lot of stairs down though to the ocean floor - so be prepared. The rocks themselves are a great experience where you can walk on the ocean floor during low tide and come back later during high tide to see water gushing all over where you were during low tide.įantastic picture spot and I sure did go crazy clicking away. There is also a museum in the main building where you can learn all about Hopewell Rocks. They have bathrooms and a very nice gift shop on location. The park is well setup with trails and off course the rocks. The shuttle runs every 5 minutes and is a lovely joyride. It's a steep descent and the shuttle is highly recommended for older people or for those with disabilities. There is a huge parking lot available free of cost.Īpproximately 35 dollars to get it and if you want the shuttle it's 2 dollars per person one way. You do not need to book tickets in advance like Tobermory!!!
