Port Burwell East Beach is a Blue Flag Beach for the 2022 season*
The beautiful sandy beach should be the focus of your next excursion to Port Burwell East Beach, in the Municipality of Bayham. This beach boasts a long stretch of sandy shoreline with accessible facilities and excellent waters for swimming and splashing around. Enjoy the volleyball nets on the beach and ample space to catch some rays! Located close to Port Burwell Provincial Park on the north shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of Big Otter Creek, Port Burwell Main Beach is a well maintained sandy beach. The beach is located near the Port Burwell Lighthouse, which is one of the oldest wooden lighthouses in Canada. The lighthouse was built in 1840 and while it is not used today, visitors are still able to climb the stairs to the top. Port Burwell is a Blue Flag beach, awarded in 2018. There is also free parking available.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
