Confirmed from Coligny Beach Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Oceanside park with landscaped walking & biking paths, plus Wi-Fi, swings & beach equipment rentals.
What runners say about Coligny Beach Park
“The beach is clean and the sand is quite nice 👌 They have everything from a bike station to fix up the bikes, dressing rooms, clean bathrooms and even a volley ball area.”
“A beautiful fine-sand beach with excellent amenities, including plentiful free parking, wifi hotspot, restrooms, rinse stations, even a bicycle tool and air up station!”
“It’s just a short walk from most rentals, safe, family-friendly, and never feels too crowded.”
“Dog friendly, and typically not too crowded, at least in October when we like to visit.”
Great little park with restrooms, well-maintained paths around the park with great access to the ocean. Large parking lot located right across the street. Benches, great artwork, incredible landscaping, and a large fountain. Highly recommend you visit here. Great place for a picnic or family event.
A beautiful public beach. They also have free parking nearby. The beach is clean and the white sands are nice. The ocean also was not very rough so you could go into the surf without fear. Lifeguards are present as well. They have chairs and umbrellas for rent.
We rented a set of chairs and an umbrella for $46 with tip $53. We got out to the beach around 9:00 AM and stayed until noon. The beach wasn’t very crowded in the morning, but picked up steadily between 11-12PM. This beach is very well maintained and cared for.
This Beach is amazing!! Huge parking lot for thos driving in or bike paths to ride straight to the beach. There is plenty of beach for a long ways and low tide makes a whole lot more! Lots of room to play family sports and the sand is so compacted that you can ride your bike or walk in sneakers.
