BEACH:
Along our shoreline, you’ll notice some low-profile concrete blocks subtly nestled in the sand (see beach photos in listing). These were installed by previous owners as part of shoreline protection efforts to help prevent erosion and maintain the beach’s natural beauty. Over time, they’ve settled into the sand and are safe to walk on, especially as most are well-buried. Guests often find they provide a bit of extra stability in softer sand areas. Just a heads-up for little feet or beach walkers—feel free to wear sandals if you’re exploring the shoreline closely!

** 🌿 Lake Erie & Seasonal Algae**
Lake Erie’s water clarity and shoreline is up to Mother Nature! Algae can come and go depending on the season and rainfall—most commonly in late summer. It’s a natural part of the ecosystem and usually doesn’t affect swimming. If needed, we’re happy to suggest other great local swim spots.


Location:
• 10 minutes from LCBO, Sobeys, Food Basics, Rexall, Dollarama
• Located just minutes from the historic Port Maitland Lighthouse & Public beach, Esplanade - a popular fishing spot (boat launch under repair until Aug 22/25)

Attractions:
• Watch the Grand River mix into Lake Erie up close at the Port Maitland Lighthouse
• Explore nearby Freedom Oaks Golf ⛳️ , summer Blueberry 🫐 picking at Blueberry Knoll’s farms, Rock Point & James N. Allen Provincial Parks and Byng Island Conservation Areas.
• Explore quaint small-town gems in Dunnville and Haldimand County. Golf courses, local markets, and family-friendly attractions like the RCAF Museum are all within a short drive.


Local Eats You’ll Love:
• Grand River Marina & Café/BBQ on the Grand – Dockside dining with great views and comfort eats
• The Country Chip Wagon – Local gem serving up crispy fries and classic roadside bites
• Check out our Guidebook for more suggestions :)


Perfect For:
Whether you're paddling out on the water, building sandcastles with the kids, roasting marshmallows by the fire, or just watching the sunset reflect off the lake, Lighthouse Getaway is the kind of place you’ll want to return to year after year.

** No pets - although we appreciate furry friends, we have a family member with a severe allergy and have to be extra careful***
