Grand Bend Beach

A definite focal point of the area, Grand Bend Beach runs along the beautiful shore of Lake Huron, offering safe and pristine water and a broad sandy beach. 

The Beach House features washrooms, change rooms, outdoor showers, and an observation deck. There is a splash pad and playground, as well as a boardwalk, gazebo, pier, and outdoor volleyball courts. The beach features a beach mat that makes the beach accessible to those in wheelchairs or with children in strollers. Certified lifeguards are on duty seven days a week until 6 pm and 7 pm on weekends and holidays. 

It’s hardly a visit to Grand Bend without hitting Grand Bend Beach for the day.

Grand Bend Main Street

The beach is a short walk to all the food, drink, and patios on Main St. 

Main Street is the centre of activity in the town, with shopping during the day and nightlife venues during the evening drawing crowds. The atmosphere of Grand Bend has given the town a reputation of being Florida north.

All In Action Sports & Skatepark

At 40,000 square feet, All In Skatepark is Ontario’s largest indoor skatepark and has played host to many competitions, including the World Championships. But don’t be scared off—the facilities offer an incredible variety of courses for riders of all skill levels. 

Beginners can practice on padded ramps with foam pits, making for a pain-free skateboarding experience. Advanced skaters can take advantage of the world-class ramps and circuits, testing their skills on the same facilities as the world’s best. All In Sports is located in the small town of Zurich, just ten minutes from Grand Bend, and is well worth the short drive for all the excitement it will bring.

The Tipsy Pelican

When you’re looking for a bar and restaurant with a view, Grand Bend offers many options. Willie’s Beach Bar, Whitecaps River Shack, and The Growling Gator all have expansive patios with views of the water and fun drink menus. For me, it’s The Tipsy Pelican because they have the patio, they have the view, they have the fun modern twists on classic beach cocktails, but their food menu rises above the rest. 

At The Tipsy Pelican, their chef-inspired, summery menu makes sure the atmosphere isn’t doing all the heavy lifting. Try the Watermelon Feta salad, the Peach and Ricotta Toast, Steak Sliders, or the Mexican Street Corn Ravioli. Just because they’ve given you a seat with a view doesn’t mean you should have to eat third-rate grub. The Tipsy Pelican offers the best of all worlds, and once you’ve found a table, I think you’ll find it hard to leave.

Dale’s Antiques and Mennonite Furniture

If you enjoy shopping for one-of-a-kind antiques, you’ve got to make a stop at Dale’s Antiques and Mennonite Furniture. The shop has been open for well over two decades, and for a good reason. 

The eclectic mix of handcrafted wooden furniture, well-curated home décor items, and the array of unique vintage items make Dale’s a store you’ll want to spend some time in. Their collection of antiques ranges from domestic items, such as cookie and tobacco tins, bottles, telephones and more, to industrial items like railroad signs, train, car, and ship parts, to tools, license plates, board games, toys, and dolls. Leave yourself enough time to look through it all. They also sell new but unique items for your home and garden. You’ll know the spot when you see it—look for the vintage, orange “Supertest” pickup truck in front of the barnboard building covered with vintage signs. Lots of fun to be had and bought at Dale’s Antiques and Mennonite Furniture.

At the Lambton Heritage Museum, you can discover the only horse-drawn ambulance in Ontario, admire local historical views or walk by the steam engine, which supported the largest industry in Bosanquet for most of the last century. 

The museum’s antique engines and stoves include models not known to survive in any other collection, private or public.
