Goderich Beach

Go Jump in a Lake

Lake Huron to be specific. “Life is Better at the Beach”, a million folksy cottage signs declare. If it’s that sign-worthy, you know it’s true. Ontario’s West Coast has 100 km of Lake Huron shoreline and 15 sandy beaches to dig your toes into. Spread out a blanket and soak up some rays, and let the stress melt away. Warning: excessive use may result in beach hair and pink glowing skin.
