Doris Cooper Houghton Beach Park

Great summer day to be at the Houghton Beach park.. lots of activities on the water and has a nice walkway to get some steps in... We enjoyed the location and sunset views!

This is a beautiful water-front park with a walking trail along the beach and options for water activities like kayak & standup paddle boarding. There’s also a volleyball court on the beach and a kids playground area. Benches are located all over and is a good spot for picnic. We came during the sunset and sat on the pier - it was very beautiful. Amenity like toilets are available too.

Worst beach I’ve ever been to. The water is contaminated and the bathrooms are closed. You can’t go swimming right now and even dogs could get sick from algae! Don’t waste your time.

Awesome beach park with small parking lot. Easy accessibility to water. You can play in water, swim, boat or do kayaking. Kayaking stuff is available on rent. You may enjoy Sun rise or Sun set on a good day. Take a hot shower after your swim . Kids will enjoy in water, park and Roll on beautiful grass scape.

Such a beautiful place for a walk on a sunny day. We took our dogs along and a throw and sat on the lawn. The views are really good and makes for a good sunset view point. It can get really crowded on weekends, especially when the sun's out. Suggest going on weekdays to have more peace and quiet. Also, dogs must be on leash all the time and cannot enter the water.

Beautiful view, calm, area. nice place to spend your evenings mornings close to nature away from the hustling bustling city. Watch out for duck/ goose poo on the lawn, no restaurants or eating options at walking distance. So if you need snacks for the evening or for kids, carry your own or get take away on the way. Restrooms were closed for some reason.

A must visit summer park with kids, it has adequate space for good number of families to sit and relax while the kids enjoy the water. The best part of the adjoining kids play area which can be a perfect ending to an evening well spent. The drawback is the parking space but then you can time it better.
