One of the most unique and exhilarating activities at Killbear is cliff jumping at Harold Point. Please note this activity is not encouraged by park staff.

You are jumping at your own risk. On a hot summer day it is especially enjoyable but take care and practice common sense. At its highest point, the jump is over 10 meters. You need to step out far enough to clear the ledge below. There are ledges below the cliff top so that even the kids can participate from a lower spot. Beaches are within easy walking distance of all campgrounds at Killbear. The 2 kilometre long horseshoe-shaped beach at Kilcoursie Bay is by far the top choice.

The swimming is great. The large shallow area makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids. The other campgrounds have beaches near them but they are smaller with rockier terrain. There are 2 beaches for pets. One is beside the Day Use beach so pets must remain on-leash. The second is near the group camping area on the eastern side of the peninsula and is an off-leash area.

The water surrounding Killbear Provincial Park is perfect for paddling. Davy, Scott, and Cousin Islands are also nearby. Many more islands are a short paddle away. The pick up point is located at the MTO carpool parking lot.
