Family Friendly
Mom, Dad and kid approved
What’s better than a day spent with family on the beach? The shorelines of Ontario’s Southwest are home to an amazing collection of family-friendly beaches. So get ready to bury Dad in the sand, build the world’s best sandcastle and perfect that doggie paddle. The sunny shores of Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair are calling.
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.Trip Inspiration
