With its picturesque coastline and blue waters, Ontario's Long Beach is one of Niagara's hidden gems and one of the best places to watch the sunset in the province.
Located on the shores of Lake Erie, Long Beach Preserve offers campgrounds, quaint lakeside resorts, and independently owned restaurants, including DJ's Roadhouse.
Just steps from the beach, you can camp with friends and family at 225 serviced and unserviced campsites that are open from Victoria Day week through Thanksgiving weekend.
Overnight camping can be booked through an online booking portal, with rates starting from $57.30 per night (additional fees apply).
Besides camping, this beach offers all the classic summer outdoor activities, including swimming, sunbathing, fishing, sailboarding, bird watching and jet skiing.
If relaxation is your priority, you can take a leisurely stroll along the shore, pull out a lawn chair in the shade, or lay down a towel and soak up some rays (with plenty of sunscreen, of course).
Long Beach is located at 12265 Lakeshore Rd. in Wainfleet, Ontario, approximately a 15 minute drive east of Port Colborne and a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from Toronto.
