Racing or Cruising

Racing is only part of the picture. While we encourage our members to participate in the race program, many also enjoy day sailing for a few hours of relaxation, or anchoring off the expansive sandy beaches of southern Lake Huron.  Grand Bend is ideally located to begin an extended cruise to destinations like Georgian Bay, the North Channel or ports on the Michigan shore of Lake Huron. Without a doubt, Grand Bend offers direct access to some of the world’s finest cruising waters for sailors and powerboaters.

Our clubhouse provides an excellent anchor for the club’s social events. Inspired by the vintage lighthouses along the Northern Lake Huron / Georgian Bay coastlines, this wheelchair–accessible facility offers washrooms, showers and a lounge with a gas fireplace. The spacious decks are equipped with gas barbecues and have a great view of the brilliant sunsets over Lake Huron. It’s a great place to put up your feet after a race, meet other members entertain friends and bring children if the boat gets too wet or small.

Opportunities for New Sailors

Whether you’re 7 or 70, a novice or an old salt, there are sailing activities you can enjoy at Grand Bend. The club has organized sail training events in co-operation with the BOOM teaching program operated by the Ontario Sailing Association. Club members see these courses as a way to bring along future crew or members. Several of our boat owners are in need of additional crew from time to time. Many of the club’s current boat owners got their feet wet by sailing as crewmembers in club races.

Launch, Haulout and Storage

Each year, the club arranges for a large mobile crane to lift members’ boats into the water in late April and take them out in late October. High-pressure hull cleaning is available at haul-out. There is also a public launching ramp operated by the Town of Lambton Shores next to the clubhouse. It is ideal for dinghies or trailer sailors. Welcome Aboard!

There are so many amazing things to do in Grand Bend, Ontario, especially during the summer months. One of the most picturesque freshwater lakes, Lake Huron, has a stretch of coastline called Ontario’s Blue Coast. Grand Bend and Grand Bend Beach are right along this expanse of white, powdery sand with twinkling, Caribbean blue waters. Grand Bend is one of the best small towns in Ontario .

Grand Bend isn’t just home to one of the best beaches in Ontario . There are numerous adventures and reasons to visit with something for every kind of traveler: the outdoor adventurer, the foodie, and the beach bum. I visited Grand Bend on a girls trip, but it’s also a great destination for couples, families with small kids, and groups of friends.

Luxury Resort Stay at Oakwood Resort

My suite at Oakwood Resort in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada. Ontario's Blue Coast.

Right on the beach, Oakwood Resort is a luxurious accommodation and golf course in Grand Bend where you absolutely need to stay. Between its private beach, golf course, and therapeutic spa, you’ll have a quiet and relaxing place all day and night. The suites are reminiscent of northern cabins with their own private balconies and fireplaces.

Indoor pool at Oakwood Resort in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada.

The hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped, there’s a full service spa with an indoor pool, and there are even hammocks for swaying in the breeze. At breakfast, there’s a massive buffet with lots of options, and the chef even whipped up a tofu scramble for me.

Things to Do in Grand Bend: Grand Bend Beach

Caribbean blue waters at Grand Bend, Ontario. Blue flag beach at Ontario's Blue Coast. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada.

There’s non-stop, action packed fun in Grand Bend. It’s perfect for a day at the beach, soaking up the sun, building sand castles, or splashing around in the waters of Lake Huron. The main beach area has a splash pad and playground for the kiddos.

Grand Bend Beach. Stunning turquoise waters. Sandy beach in Grand Bend, Ontario.

There’s easy access to lots of restaurants, cafes, and bars in town with plenty of activities (like escape rooms, miniature golf, and even axe throwing). Plus, the turquoise blue water looks straight out of the Caribbean. Here are even more tips and important information about the beach in Grand Bend.

Grand Bend Lighthouse

Grand Bend lighthouse at the end of the pier during a stormy day with many crashing waves.

For all of those lighthouse chasers out there, check out the Grand Bend lighthouse at the end of the pier. Watch the waves crash all around you, especially on a slightly stormy day. We even saw someone surfing among the swells. I highly recommend walking all over Grand Bend: by the pier and lighthouse, along the beach, and all over town.

Water Sports on Lake Huron

Xtreme Watersports in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada. Go for a boat ride on Ontario's Blue Coast.

There are water sports for all ages and interests in Grand Bend. From Sea-Doo watercraft rentals to Flyboarding and parasailing, you can try these thrilling activities for the first time on brilliant, blue waters.

We opted for a slightly tamer boat ride with Xtreme Watersports to soak up the scenery. As the boat glides along, feel the wind in your hair and the sun in your face. Discover Grand Bend from new perspectives out on the water.

Wander Around This Ontario Beach Town

You don’t just need to visit Grand Bend Beach when you go to Grand Bend. There’s an adorable main street lined with beach shops, restaurants, and cafes. You’ll want to go for a stroll or two up and down the main street.

Grand Bend Wineries

Traditionally, when we think about wine regions in Ontario, Niagara or Prince Edward County might spring to mind. However, the rural areas of Huron Shores make up Ontario’s newest emerging wine region.

Alton Farms Estate Winery is the pioneer winery and vineyard, while Dark Horses Estate Winery offers a luxurious tasting room, restaurant, and banquet space. You’ll soon see that wine tasting is one of the best things to do in Grand Bend, Ontario.

Alton Farms Estate Winery

Sampling wine at Alton Farms Estate Winery, Ontario's newest emerging wine region at Huron Shores.

In Plympton-Wyoming ,  Alton Farms Estate Winery was originally only a dream of owners, Marc and Anne Alton. There weren’t any wine growers in this area, but Marc knew that the setting would be perfect for producing delicious and flavourful wines.

Alton Farms Estate Winery. Wine and vegan charcuterie board. Ontario's newest emerging wine region. Plympton-Wyoming, Ontario.

Nowadays, Alton Farms Estate Winery handcrafts 13 to 17 wines each year from six acres of vineyards. We chatted with the friendly and knowledgeable owners, and sampled wine and finger foods from a charcuterie board (they made a vegan one for me!). My favourite was the 2016 Aberarder White.

Dark Horse Estate Winery

Dark Horse Estate Winery, Huron Shores, Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada. White wine sampler.

The architecture and vineyards of Dark Horse Estate Winery will surely wow you! Sample wines at their elegant tasting room or enjoy them on the spacious patio overlooking the vineyards.

As someone who tends to like white wines on the sweeter side, I really enjoyed their Late Harvest Vidal, but I also recommend that you sample their sparkling wine.

Coffee Break at Highway Girl

Highway Girl in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada. Vegan and gluten-free lunch and desserts.

Highway Girl , a finer food shop, is the place to truly find something for everyone. They cater to all diets and allergies, including vegan, raw, gluten-free…you name it! The owner has family members who have food allergies, and she knows how difficult it can be to eat at a restaurant. She decided to offer eats and treats for every diet.

Vegan donuts from Highway Girl in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada.

There’s a wide selection of vegan and raw desserts (think: an entire refrigerated unit) and sandwiches can be made vegan and gluten-free. This place is a total gem, and I encourage you to check it out for lunch, a treat, or a caffeinated beverage. I went away with one of their mini vegan chocolate cheesecakes, donuts, and some coffee.

Things to Do in Grand Bend: Pinery Provincial Park

Rainy day at Pinery Provincial Park on Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada.

Looking for the perfect combination of wilderness and beach? Head to Pinery Provincial Park to explore the forest, nature, and 10km of beautiful sandy beaches. The park itself has an exceptional biodiversity of flora and fauna, including 800 vascular plants and 300 bird species. Among the Oak Savanna and Coastal Dune Ecosystems, there are opportunities for outdoor recreation all year long.

Pinery Provincial Park boardwalk to Lake Huron on a rainy day.

You can camp here (book early for summer campsites), rent canoes and kayaks, go biking on a 14km trail, walk on 10 different trails, or simply savour the views. Of course, it happened to be pouring rain when we checked out Pinery Provincial Park, but the rain made our surroundings even more lush and green.

Even though we couldn’t properly enjoy the beach, I checked out the views and will happily return on sunnier days. Did you know that Pinery isn’t only a great place for summer trips? It’s open all year long! I returned to visit Pinery Provincial Park in the winter , stayed in a yurt at the park, and it was so much fun.

Dine at Midori Sushi

Miso soup, edamame, margarita at Midori Sushi in Grand Bend, Ontario.. Vegan options.

Who knew there was a sushi restaurant at this beach town? Midori Sushi is right on the main strip in Grand Bend. Definitely grab a seat on the patio during the summer months, or you can even enjoy a meal and a drink from the swing set up by the outdoor bar. The vegan options are clearly marked on the menu.

Cucumber rolls, sweet potato rolls, edamame, vegan food at Midori Sushi in Grand Bend, Ontario.

There were too many yummy meals on the menu that made it difficult to choose. I settled on a miso soup, edamame with garlic and lime, cucumber rolls, and sweet potato rolls. To make my lunch complete, I added a lime frozen margarita, the perfect summer beverage. To see more vegan meals in Grand Bend, check out my Grand Bend vegan restaurant guide .

Famous Grand Bend Sunsets

Dramatic sky in Grand Bend, stormy sunset sky. Ontario's Blue Coast, Canada.

Grand Bend and Ontario’s Blue Coast are home to some of this most spectacular sunsets ever . The sun’s beach points perfectly in a westerly direction, and the sunset rivals any tropical one I’ve seen. Unfortunately, as it rained during our overnight stay in Grand Bend, we didn’t get to see the iconic sunset. However, the skies were quite dramatic that evening.

Grand Bend winter sunset

This is a picture of what you can expect from a Grand Bend sunset, except I took this photo in the wintertime. It’s so beautiful! The sunsets are worth the overnight trip alone, and viewing the sunset is one of the top things to do in Grand Bend, Ontario.

Day Trip to Sarnia From Grand Bend

While there are so many great things to do in Grand Bend, it’s also a good jumping off point for other nearby destinations. Since Grand Bend is such a small town, you might want to visit a larger city for more amenities and various things to do.

I suggest driving south to Sarnia, which is a little under an hour from Grand Bend. Here are some of the best things to do in Sarnia for a memorable day.

Canatara Beach

Canatara Beach and Park, Ontario's Blue Coast. Sarnia, Ontario. Crystal clear waters of Lake Huron.

Canatara Beach in Sarnia has some of the clearest waters I’ve ever seen. It’s also a quieter beach if you’re seeking a relaxing getaway. There’s about one kilometre of sandy beach, and the waters range between deep blue and turquoise on a sunny day.

Girls getaway, ladies running towards the beach. Canatara Beach, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

It was overcast and on the verge of rain when we visited, but the rain held off and we walked along the beach. Canatara Beach has a nearby park, ample free parking, a taco food truck, and water sport rentals (kayaks and stand-up paddle boards).

Visit a Craft Brewery: Refined Fool Brewery

Refined Fool Brewing Co in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Colourful wall mural in the midtown brewery.

If you love beer, you’ve gotta try the brews over at Refined Fool Brewery in Sarnia. They now have two locations (one downtown and one midtown), but they humbly started out as backyard brewers. Over the years, they’ve created 97 different beers and have a large sampling to taste at their brewery.

Beer flight at Refined Fool Brewing Co in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

Pick four of them for a flight – I tried the Troll Toll (cream ale), Hipster Doofus (strawberry wheat beer), Pinky Brewster (raspberry wheat beer), and My Cousin Knows the Drummer (German wheat beer). They were super refreshing and I love the quirky beer names.

Coffee Break: Visit Blackwater Coffee Co

Blackwater Coffee Co, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

When you wake up in Sarnia (or arrive for the day), the first place you’ll want to head is Blackwater Coffee Co . The owner, Dave, has perfected the art of roasting beans for the last 25 years. There’s a roast for every palate as well as small bites of food (they have everything bagels as a vegan option).

Their dark roast was smooth and rich without any bitterness. Try a plant-based milk option for lattes and cappuccinos.

Check out Waterfront Park (Point Edward)

Blue Water Bridge and waterfront in Point Edward, Ontario, Canada

In the small community of Point Edward that neighbours Sarnia, take a stroll at Waterfront Park beneath the Blue Water Bridge. Take a look across the water – yes, that’s Michigan directly across the way! Don’t leave without sampling “bridge fries” from the local fry truck.

Bridge Fries, a must when you visit Sarnia and Point Edward, Ontario.

Fantastic Restaurants in Sarnia

There are many amazing choices for restaurants in Sarnia with something for every taste. There’s even a vegan restaurant in Sarnia, too! Here are my top picks for Sarnia dining options.

Cafe Mexico

Vegan eats at Mexico in Sarnia. Nacho chips, pico de gallo, vegan tacos.

Cafe Mexico in Sarnia offers tacos, brunch, coffee, and cocktails. Those are pretty much all of my favourite things. The restaurant owners share their love for Mexican culture, tradition, and hospitality through food and drink.

On the menu, you’ll find two vegan tacos: the vegan chorizo and refried bean. There’s also nacho chips and pico de gallo or guacamole. I also ordered a refreshing and tasty Cosmopolitan.

Match Eatery & Public House

Vegan food at Match Eatery and Public House at the Gateway Casino Point Edward, Ontario.

Located right at the Gateway Casino Point Edward, Match Eatery & Public House is a modern pub with a contemporary twist. Dine on their patio with views of the St. Clair River or watch sporting events at the bar.

Toasted Veggie Sandwich at Match Eatery. Point Edward / Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

The Big Toasted Veggie Sandwich was hearty and delicious, with roasted beets, portobello mushrooms, and hummus. Leave off the cheese and the onion ring (but add crispy onions!) to make it vegan. I also asked for some vegan nachos which was no problem at all. While the restaurant doesn’t have vegan cheese, they artfully arranged a number of toppings around the nacho chips for a yummy feast.

Greens Organic Cafe

Greens Organic Cafe in Sarnia, Ontario. Vegan restaurant in Sarnia.

Greens Organic Cafe is the only vegan and plant-based restaurant in Sarnia with food that everyone will adore. They have a rotating menu of bowls, wraps, burgers, pasta, tacos, and more. I had a raw walnut taco wrap with spiced walnut filling, cashew sour cream, avocado, onion, and veggies.

Food from Greens Organic Cafe in Sarnia, Ontario. Pina colada smoothie, walnut taco wrap, peanut butter cookie. Vegan.

Also, I couldn’t resist ordering a pina colada smoothie and a peanut butter cookie for dessert. In addition to the tantalizing menu, you’ll find a range of vegan products in their fridge and a variety of desserts.

Become a Vendor

grand bend cruise

A Grand Bend Tradition

The Pinery Market has been a Sunday destination for over 50 years. Located in Grand Bend, a small beach town on Lake Huron, this large market truly has something for everyone!

The Market originated as a very small collection of antique vendors in 1960’s.  In those days, vendors displayed their wares on the ground in the blazing sun.  Now, over 50 years later, the market has beautiful mature oak trees that create a shaded park. A perfect setting to shop, eat and relax while listening to live entertainment in our licensed area at Tuck’s Gas Bar.

Today, the Sunday Market houses the traditional flea market, as well as unique, handcrafted vendors, food vendors, and a farmers market. Special events, such as Bark-toberfest and Ice Cream Festival and several more are held on Sundays throughout the season.

Open every  Sundays 9am-4pm , beginning the first Sunday in May 5th until Thanksgiving, Oct 13th. Rain or Shine!
