Having frequented this beach for over 50 years, I might be a bit biased, but I must say it is a wonderful, charming spot that never gets too crowded. I really appreciate the ongoing improvements and developments at the beach park.
A great spot for stargazing with minimal light pollution and a pleasant beach atmosphere.
This beach is straightforward and well-maintained. It's perfect for enjoying picnics and taking a refreshing swim, especially in the summer (although it was a bit chilly when we visited). The water was remarkably clear, which was a pleasant surprise. There were plenty of seagulls wandering around the beach, and there's even a playground for children. Additionally, there's a small eatery where you can grab snacks, as well as several picnic tables. The pier is quite long and offers a better view of the charming little lighthouse. As you walk down the pier, you'll notice many people fishing, and there are plenty of seats available. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the view is absolutely stunning.
The sand is fine, but the beach area is quite small and often crowded. The water is shallow and bordered by rocks. The parking lot is limited in size and charges a flat fee of $10. There are no restrooms available.
We have been coming to this beach for more than 5 years now, and we absolutely adore this place even more than the main strip in Grand Bend. The cost is $14 per car, and I can't recall the exact price per person, but it is quite affordable for the area. On hot days or weekends, it can get incredibly crowded, so it's advisable to arrive early if you want to secure a picnic table or find a shaded area with trees. We always bring our own propane BBQ and enjoy grilling, but the park also provides stand-up charcoal BBQs for public use if necessary. The grass is well-maintained and clean, and the beach is spacious and not as packed as the main strip. It's always our go-to spot whenever we visit the beach.
The beach itself is fantastic, but I had some unpleasant encounters with the locals. I never have and never will pay any fines, even if I receive one. I parked my car and walked to the beach to swim. This beach is public property and belongs to everyone, not just a select few. Any fines issued can be disregarded, as I am a tourist and will be leaving the country soon. Any tickets I receive will simply end up in the trash.
