Located along the beautiful shoreline of Lake Erie, Norfolk County is home to many kilometres of sandy beaches.
For the best beach experience, visit one of the area’s two provincial parks—Turkey Point and Long Point. If you visit other areas, be sure to read all parking signage and be respectful of private property.
Turkey Point
Turkey Point Beach is a long, shallow beach with many sand bars, ideal for families. The beach extends into the cottage areas of Turkey Point, so please observe parking signs and respect others' privacy.
Long Point
Long Point is an incredible sandy beach on Lake Erie. It is part of Long Point Provincial Park, located on the 40 km-long sand spit recognized by the United Nations as a biosphere reserve.
The best beach experience is at the provincial park. If you park elsewhere, please observe parking signage and respect private property. Note that high water levels can significantly reduce the beach in this area.
Port Dover
Port Dover is a beautiful, quiet resort town with friendly people and a scenic beach. Jump into the water for a relaxing swim or soak up the sun on the sand for that South Coast tan. The pier is a focal point for anglers, couples, and seniors watching the fishing tugs return with their catches. The waterfront boasts a great marina and charter tours.
Norfolk County owns a small portion of Port Dover Beach, while most is privately owned. There is no lifeguard on duty.
