Goderich's natural setting along Ontario's West Coast provides an incredible number of recreation and leisure choices. Goderich's three beautiful beaches are a must-see. Come and relax on the sand or meander along the newly installed boardwalk. The 1.5 kilometre boardwalk is over 10 feet wide and runs along the waterfront passing by all of the beauty and amenities. Picnic shelters, playgrounds, and public washrooms stand out along these beaches and are the perfect location for a day trip. From late spring to early fall the beach hut and the cove have scrumptious treats and snacks to fulfill your tummies needs. The picturesque Beach Street Station restaurant is located just across from Main Beach and has some pretty amazing history itself. It was built in 1907 as a Canadian Pacific Railway Station and was moved over 100 feet from its original location in 2013 and was restored and open in 2015! Their menu dazzles with local food and drink with a wide selection for every appetite. You can be sure to catch our famous sunsets from all the beaches or any of our 13 viewpoint parks at the top of the bluff. The beach is accessible by road, foot and bike with staircases extending from the Lighthouse Park, Sunset Park and Rotary Cove, allowing you to see the sunset twice if you climb quick enough! Main Beach The first beach when you descend to the Goderich Waterfront is the Main Beach, a sandy beach perfect for families. Enjoy the unique sight of ships coming into the Port of Goderich. Amenities include concession, washrooms, and play equipment. St. Christopher's Beach Our second beach, St. Christopher's, sits in a shaded area in the centre of the Goderich Waterfront. Amenities include pavilions, washrooms, and play equipment. St. Christopher's Beach is dog-friendly. Rotary Cove Beach Our newest beach, Rotary Cove is located at the end of Cove Road. It is sandy and shallow, popular among local families. Amenities include concession, washrooms, fitness equipment, and play equipment.
