We too, take a lot of German friends out boating (my hubby is from Germany). Are your German friends working here, or students?
I, too, went to Strawberry as a kid. It hasn't changed much. The beach is small and you have to walk a LONG way to get to the beach. (unless you have an outboard or jet boat).
Metro Beach is good for having a picnic and people-watching. But if you want to go swimming, maybe Muscamoot or Goose Bay would be better. Seaway and Peche Islands are both really nice, but at Seaway you risk getting hassled and if you go to Peche you have to call in on the Canadian mainland. If you have foreigners w/o green cards with you, there might be a problem (like you might have to wait for them to come and interview you personally, or something) Not sure how that works.
Have fun!!

They are here for a year to work. I work for a German company, so they frequently send people over for a year or two to get international experience... They are so amazed that we have a "giant" lake right in out backyard... Then after they see that I take them up to my cottage in Lexington and show them a real lake
. We have been to Metro and I plan on taking them to the moot to show them how we party on the lake, but they also wanted to sit on a beach for a while one of these weekends. I would take them to Peach or Seaway (we went there a lot two when I was younger because I like to play in the "tide" the freighters created, but I didn't want to deal with them being foreginers and having to bring their working papers and all that stuff with them...
