Online payments can be made by VISA, MasterCard or Visa Debit, and visitors will be required to show proof of purchase prior to accessing the beach.
Payments at Centennial-Cedar Bay Beach will be on-site, with debit or credit only; cash will not be accepted.
Centennial-Cedar Bay Beach will be restricted to Niagara residents only, and open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Nickel Beach will be open to both residents and non-residents with a limit of 150 vehicles for non-Port Colborne residents. Beach passes for visitors will need to be purchased in advance.
