WELCOME TO HURON COUNTY

How to make the most of your Huron County Adventure

Book ahead

During the high season, reservations are often required for Huron County’s attractions and restaurants. Plan ahead to make sure you don’t miss out!

Get off the beaten path 

Some of Huron County’s best attractions are off the beaten path. Don’t be afraid to venture into the countryside for a truly unique experience.

Water shoes are recommended

Huron County’s beaches are maintained naturally to protect our delicate shoreline ecosystems. This means that in many places the water’s edge can be a little rocky. If you plan to swim, bring a pair of water shoes to make your experience more enjoyable.

Bring a cooler or two

Huron County’s locally-grown food is fresh and delicious. Whether you’re coming for a day or  a week, make sure you’re prepared to bring the flavours of Huron County home with you.

Meet the locals

We want to get to know you.  If you have a question, ask anyone you see! We will be happy help you make the most of your adventure here.

Take photos and share them

There are many great sights to see in Huron County’s countryside and photos are not only welcome, but encouraged! You can share your images with us using hashtag #OntariosWestCoast.
