Summary:
Flour Bay is not a technical name for this spot. Technically, the named Bay is further South by a short walk. This is a spot that I discovered simply by driving up the coast and exploring. You’ll find a small campsite and some nice tree cover immediately after pulling off Highway 17.
This spot had a beautiful assortment of rocks, capped off with large Lake Superior Agates still in the matrix. They were in substantially heavy boulders that would be a challenge to cut or really do much of anything with.
The shores here are a fantastic spot to pull the car over with the family and explore the treasures that the Lake has on its shores.

A much larger Lake Superior Agate, in matrix. These were so cool to find in the float rocks.
