One or two well-maintained sandy beaches with a totem of the 1st Nation.
The beaches with fairly shallow water are regularly maintained. There is even a lifeguard on site during opening hours. There are cabins and toilets and a shower on site, but they are showing their age.
But be careful: only swim within the boundaries!!! The current further out can be very strong.

In 1982, the Rotary Club of Windsor-St. Clair supported the creation of the Sandpoint Beach Totem Pole. It was carved by a Nootkon aboriginal man, Wikinanish, in 22 weeks of work over 14 months. The red cedar trunk comes from British Columbia.
Wikinanish, Rotary Club of Windsor-St. Clair
unknown (Sandpoint Beach Totem Pole), 1982-84
Painted red cedar, 1524 x 86 (diameter) centimeters

Sandpoint Beach sits where the Detroit River opens into Lake St. Clair, with a broad sandy shoreline and wide views across the water. The surrounding parkland remains open and connects directly with the Ganatchio Trail, with picnic areas, a playground, parking and washrooms nearby. Water access is currently closed indefinitely, so treat this as a waterfront stop rather than a swimming beach and follow the barriers and posted signs.
