Let the Blue Flags fly

 

Looking for a best-of-the-best beach experience? You’ve come to the right place. There are only 27 Blue Flag beaches in all of Canada and Ontario’s Southwest is home to five of them. Port Stanley, Grand Bend, Canatara Park, Port Glasgow, and Port Burwell East Beach have earned the coveted Blue Flag designation for their strict commitment to water quality, safety and environmental criteria.

PLEASE NOTE: Contact each location to check for availability. Each beach page in this section has a contact link to check for status. We’re preparing for your visit using Ontario’s most up to date COVID-19 guidelines and ask all travellers to do the same before they set out on their trip. LEARN MORE HERE.
