Small swimming area by the Pugwash wharf, open to the public. There are no lifeguards here, so swim at your own risk. The drop-off is quick, especially closer to the wharf, but it’s a great swimming spot because there are few rocks or seaweed.
Conveniently, there’s a paved parking lot beside the beach and a public boat launch.
