Port Hope offers two beaches, east and west of the Harbour. Both are sandy and provide access to Lake Ontario. These beaches are steps away from historic downtown Port Hope. Like all beaches, the "open" or "posted" indicators refer to the amount of bacteria in the water. Always check for flags in the parking lot of Port Hope East Beach before going in the water. Beaches are not regularly tested for other contaminants. From time to time, cleanup of low-level radioactive waste or harbour dredging activities may make Port Hope beaches inaccessible.
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.
