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.

This beach is truly a hidden gem! It is well-maintained, with a pleasant level of cleanliness, and never becomes overly crowded...but let's keep it our little secret! We wouldn't want it to lose its charm.

The beach is incredibly peaceful and beautiful, although the public restroom could benefit from better lighting and a touch more cleanliness. Additionally, there is a lovely picnic area in close proximity to the beach, allowing visitors to enjoy two distinct experiences in close proximity.

This beach is the perfect spot for a picnic and barbeque in a park-like area. After enjoying a delicious meal, you can head to the beach for some fun in the sun. The washrooms are well-maintained, and parking is available for just $12.
