Grand Bend beach is listed as one of Canada's best beaches.

You are invited to bring your own picnic lunch to enjoy on the beach or purchase something to eat from the many restaurants and cafes along Main Street, just a short walk away.

For those who don't wish to spend 4½ hours at the beach, in the afternoon we will be visiting Westland Greenhouses, one of the largest greenhouses in the Lake Huron area.
