Grand Bend Beach Day

The main beach at Grand Bend is a long stretch of sand with a boardwalk, a splash pad, a playground and lifeguards in summer. And at the end of the day, the sun goes straight down into the lake in front of you.

Grand Bend Beach Day

Read the full instructions and gather your supplies before starting.

Step 1 of 6

Get there early. The paid lots by the beach fill up on hot weekends, and early sand is cooler on your feet.

What a grown-up does

The drive, and being in the water with you. Lifeguards are only there in summer.

What to do there

6 steps. Tap one when it's done.

Why it's like that

Lake Huron is so wide that from Grand Bend you can't see the far side. That's why the sun sets into water like it does at an ocean, and why the sunsets get ranked among the best anywhere: there's nothing between you and the horizon but lake.
