This shore of Lake Ontario lies below an embankment off Port Darlington Road in Bowmanville. Access to the shore involves some scrambling; there are no stairs or boardwalk leading down.
This stretch of shore is popular with birdwatchers; the steep embankment is home to numerous sand martin (bank swallow) nests. These small migratory birds dig nesting burrows into sandy cliffs. Often, there are several burrows close together.
