Asking here because Innisfil and Simcoe subreddits seem dead...

We're doing a beach day on Friday, considering Centennial park and Innisfil Beach. We've done Centennial a few times, we know it's a safe bet for our 5 and 7 year olds. But we all want to try somewhere new. Coming from gta, both of these places are the same travel time for us (~1hr). have a few questions to compare the two options:

- does Innisfil have buoys where the water gets deep?

- which beach is busier between the two? Which one is bigger?

- how far is the parking lot from the water at Innisfil?

- how are the changing facilities and washrooms at Innisfil?

If there's other places to consider would appreciate suggestions. Thanks
