Kenora’s hidden gem for swimmers

By far one of my most unforgettable moments  in Kenora was about two years ago when my former boss closed the office for a day in the summer and took us out on his boat.  The sun was beating down mercilessly and the water was ridiculously beautiful and extremely warm.  We jumped in for a while out in the middle somewhere and swam around… and then we drove the boat off to an island which I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Apparently it’s called Scotty’s Island.

If you look at the picture above you’ll get a satellite shot of the beach with what I’m almost certain is my boss’s smaller boat there ha! That shows where it is in relation to the town of Kenora. Or below is an interactive Google map with a satellite shot of the beach. Click on the picture above if you can’t see the map below.

Words can’t describe those couple of hours. I was having a real bad domestic life full of arguments, screaming and shouting every single day without a moment’s rest. This beach made all that worry and stress disappear in about ten minutes.

The beach is in a secluded cove… although when we went there there were a fair few people… it was so beautiful it was worthwhile. If you are into boating and love swimming… this beach is a MUST if you visit Kenora. Although make sure you visit on a sunny day of at least 26 celsius – just ask a local for direction to Scotty’s Island. You won’t regret it – that’s a guarantee!
