The Beach: 2 beaches, 1 wide and 1 small, both clean. The wide has clear water, a bit cold but the body adapts, friendly and family environment, great for a day use. For sure you need to bring an umbrella or a beach tent, chairs, apply sun protection cream as the sun gets intense starting 1~2 pm. Car Parking: if you arrive early there, then you have better chance to fond a spot in the pain parking. Arriving at noon time or later, it will take couple of laps to find a place. Parking in streets is free and limited to 2 hours from 10 to 5, after that no limits, again it requires couple of laps to find a spot. Washrooms: There are public washrooms Restaurants: there are few near the beach. Tried one "The Buccaneer". It is very nice, great food varieties and big portions. City: very nice and cozy for a nice afternoon/evening walk by pier, many restaurants and ice cream shops, friendly and clean, many areas for sitting around the pier.

I visited Port Stanley Beach in summer and I have to say it exceeded my expectations! The beach is absolutely gorgeous with soft sand and crystal clear water. The view of Lake Erie is breathtaking and there's plenty of space to relax and enjoy the scenery. What impressed me the most was the cleanliness and organization of the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they kept the beach spotless. There were plenty of clean washrooms, showers, and changing rooms available which made our visit even more comfortable. The beach also has a wide range of amenities including volleyball courts, playgrounds, and plenty of food options. It's perfect for a day out with family and friends. The parking is also convenient and there are plenty of spaces available. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Port Stanley Beach if you're in Ontario. It's truly one of the best beaches in the area and I can't wait to visit again!

Port Stanley Beach is a lovely spot for a relaxing day by the water. The beach is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the sun. The water is calm, making it great for a swim or just wading in to cool off. I also appreciate that there are lifeguards on duty, which adds a sense of safety. One of the highlights is the pier, offering a nice walk and beautiful views of the lake. It's also a great spot for photos. The town nearby is charming, with a good selection of eateries. I tried some fries from a local spot, and they were delicious—a perfect beach snack. However, the beach can get a bit crowded during peak hours, so it's best to come early if you want a prime spot. Parking can also be a challenge on busy days. Overall, it’s a wonderful beach with a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a day trip.

Been there twice, very clean beach, ample parking if you make there before 12 pm, there's atleast 4-5 municipal lots. Download honk app beforehand so you can pay via the app at the lots instead of lining up behind others paying at the machine. Pack umbrella or tents as they allow it unlike grand bend beaches. There's 3-4 restaurants and cafe on the beach plus lots of ice cream shops and cafe before you enter the beach corridor. Check out the down town area, near the train station and the lift bridge for a good stroll along the seaside. Parking for all day is $20 or pay $4/hour. There's also cruise tours you can take near the lift bridge.

Very accessible and close to parking. Washrooms are mostly the porta potty stalls so bring your own sanitizer or washer sometimes they're out. Water has a layer or gravel around 3-4 feet in but clears up real fast and it's all smooth sand after. Lifeguards sit from morning around 10-11 till 5pm. Otherwise no supervision. There is a foot shower yoi can go to afterwards. Beach is mostly clean. Parking close costs around $4/hour but it's free before 8am and after 5pm. Sun set looked pretty beauitful as well. No you can't really see much of the United States lol. At least I couldn't cath a glimpse of land or skyscrapers.

Very Nice beach, ample parking in boat parking space if you don’t find it at regular spot. The sand is clean and there is enough room to play. Also lifeguards pay good attention to the crowd. Water is nice but not as clean as the beaches on Lake Huron. They have some wooden branches near the shore which can make it a bit rough to walk, again not a big deal but just sharing. They also have a small play area for kids near the wash & change rooms. Taking off one star as the washrooms are not very well maintained atleast not the same as Grand Bend and others. Overall it’s a nice pace to spend some quality time with family.
