Summer jaunts with the family to Grand Bend

Grand Bend's powdery shorelines are often content to let their Blue Flag status do the talking. Forever magnetizing sun seekers during the warmer months of the year, the town buzzes with life from May to September. Tanning bodies recline as the dappled swells of Lake Huron lap against the yellow-hued sands, and ad hoc live music shows erupt in the evenings in the waterside parks. Grand Bend vacation rentals combine with a clutch of hearty Ontarian eateries to make the place a prime stomping ground for family travelers, while watersports and motorcycling routes add something for the more adventure-inclined.

Things to do

Grand Bend _ more than just sands

Grand Bend vacation rentals aren't just your ticket to two of the most acclaimed summertime beaches _ Main Beach and South Beach _ in Ontario. They are also your chance to enjoy a whole medley of wholesome enjoyments. There are regular shows at the hearty, timber-clad Huron Country Playhouse. There's petrol-headed action over on the Grand Bend Motorplex. And, for those more interested in times past, there's the Lambton Heritage Museum, for an introduction to the unique cultural history of this quiet corner of Canada.

Activities

Shaking off the sands in Grand Bend

There's rarely a dull moment on the daffodil-colored sands of Grand Bend _ at least not in the summer months when the resort is in full swing. You can whiz across Lake Huron on jet skis and private-hire boats then, or dangle in the air as you paraglide atop the waters. Motorcycle touring around the empty roads that ring the shores is also possible for those who've brought the Harley in tow, while live music and hearty meals in the Canadian bistros beckon when the evening takes over.
