Movies on the beach in Westboro – the 2014 edition
By andrea tomkins in - Ottawa for kids,- Westboro,Easy ways to make kids happy,Ottawa
Westies will be happy to learn that movies on the beach is coming back to Westboro Beach on June 13! And they’re showing the Lego movie! Isn’t that a great choice for a summer film?
What you need to know:
- Arrive early to stake out your seating. The movie begins after dusk.
- Bring snacks, although there’s food at the cantina if have a hankering for an extra treat.
- Bring bug spray.
- Bring something comfortable to sit on. We like to bring our foldable camp chairs, as well as a blanket in case someone wants to sprawl out.
- Bring a flashlight to ensure a swift and safe exit back up the path to your car. It gets mighty dark down there at night!
Can’t make it? There will be other movies, on other beaches around Ottawa. See the list right here.

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
