This beach boasts wide open vistas and spectacular viewing of fall colours once swimming season has wound down. It sits aside highway 60 near the town of Hillside and is shallow enough for those who might prefer to wade rather than swim. Hillside is so called due to the surname, Hill, of the original family to settle in the area rather than any notable topography. There are no lifeguards present, but the beach has parking, picnic tables, and washrooms that are open to the public on a seasonal basis.
