Sandpoint Beach Park

Sandpoint Beach Park is a waterfront park located along the south shore of Lake St. Clair near the mouth of the Detroit River. The park forms part of a continuous green space that includes Ganatchio Park and Stop 26 Park, connected by the Ganatchio Trail and Riverside Drive. The area is known for its wide open views, sandy shoreline, and direct access to trails, recreation, and passive green space. Additional features at this location include a seasonal lifeguard-supervised beach (typically starting in June, weather and conditions permitting), outdoor showers and foot wash stations, shaded seating areas, accessible beach mats (seasonal), nearby parking and trail connections to the Ganatchio Trail. The City of Windsor has completed a comprehensive Master Plan and Shoreline Class Environmental Assessment for Sandpoint Beach Park and its adjacent parkland. The plan, prepared by Landmark Engineers Inc., focuses on enhancing safety, accessibility, and the long-term sustainability of this well-used waterfront area. The most significant change is the planned relocation of the designated swimming beach further east on the site, away from areas affected by strong currents near the river mouth. The former beach area will be reconfigured with shoreline protection features to discourage water access in that section.
