VISITOR INFORMATION - Sandy Cove
The Beach
![]() Elliston has many attractions to offer the visitor; however, one of its best natural features is its beautiful sandy beach. This beach boasts a freshwater brook, a refreshment stand, and nearby camping facilities at the municipal park. Over the years, there has been some debate about the correct way to refer to this location.
Some call it Sandy Beach while others refer to it as Sandy Cove. Although the descriptive name of Sandy Beach does fit, the reference of Sandy Cove is much older going back to 1846. In any case this is a very popular location for residents and visitors alike.
Below are a few pictures and a poem entitled Sandy Cove by Aubrey Pearce is located at the end of this section.

Municipal Park & Memorial Campground at Sandy Cove![]() Elliston Municipal Park has hosted many picnics, outings, camping activities, festivals and local special events. Over the years the park's infrastructure has been renovated to add a stage, related structures, fencing and upgraded camping lots to accommodate large RVs.
The Gary Baker Memorial Campground was established in memory of Mr. Baker who was a long serving member of council and Mayor who died in 2011. It is wonderful place to pitch a tent and spend a night.
Below are a few photos from the May 25th, 2013 opening.
