short drive to Erieau beach (4 km), and Marine and Rondeau Provincial park (5 km) inSmall Town of Erieau
Is Erieau worth visiting?
Erieau is like other Southwestern Ontario beaches in many ways, with a cute waterfront restaurant, busy marina, cabins, cottages for rent, and a few unique stores for shopping.
But it is also quite different from other popular summer beach destinations. Located a bit further away from Ontario’s larger cities, Erieau feels much less touristy and much more like a country song about having your toes in the water and a beer in your hand…
So, if you’re looking for a summer road trip that will deliver that laid-back beach life at an affordable price, we highly recommend a stop at the quaint little town of Erieau.
Erieau Beach
If this is your first time traveling to a beach on the Great Lakes, then you may be shocked to see how vast the waters of Lake Erie are! We have had many friends from other countries comment on how the beach feels like a seashore rather than a lake.

Thankfully the lake will not leave you with a salty mouth, is usually a bit warmer than the ocean, and doesn’t come with any scary predators to watch out for! The lake is really where the fun is at.
When you arrive at Erieau’s public beach you will find a fairly large parking lot (though you can also park almost anywhere along the road without having to worry), with public washrooms (a definite bonus!). You will also find two nice-sized pavilions for family picnics and barbeques.

Note: With regional restrictions due to the current state of the world, we can’t be sure that the public washrooms will be open.

There is also a beach volleyball court and an amazing kids’ playground featuring some awesome inclusive and accessible play equipment.
Enjoying the playground!
Two other great features of this beach include a wide, wheelchair-accessible boardwalk spanning a good length of the shore, and a long walkable pier leading to the lighthouse at the end of the beach.



15 Amazing Things to Do in and Around Erieau
Having lived near Erieau for much of my (Erie) life, I have put together this unique list of some of the most amazing things to do during your stay by the shore.
When you stay in Erieau, you’re staying in one of the lushest, most fruitful, and friendliest places in all of Ontario, so get out there and take advantage of what it has to offer!
Things to do in Erieau Village
1. Swimming
Of course, swimming is a must when you’re at the beach in the summer! The long, sandy beaches of Erieau do attract crowds, but you should have no problem finding a comfortable spot to relax on the shore.

Erieau can get some decent-sized waves (by lake standards), and while fun to jump in, there can sometimes be an undertow. Make sure to heed any undertow warnings that may be posted.
Note: The public beach is not patrolled by lifeguards. Swimming is at your own risk.
You could also swim on the Rondeau Bayside (which is usually warmer due to shallower water) but since there is no public beach on the bay side, you would have to access by boat or by renting a private property with bay access.
2. Shoreline Fishing
Growing up close to Erieau, I (Erie) have so many good childhood memories of fishing off the piers at Erieau. Granted, the experience was far superior to our catch! (We were pretty amateur.)

Nonetheless, if you’re looking for a low-cost, easy fishing experience, shoreline fishing in Erieau is for you. If you’re more ambitious, you will likely prefer fishing on the open water.
Note: You can find everything you need for your fishing experience at Erieau Marina. They even sell fishing licenses, which are legally required to fish in Ontario.
3. Chartered Fishing
Several companies offer Chartered Fishing trips from the Erieau Marina. Due to the current state of the world, we recommend contacting Erieau Marina directly to find out what companies are operating at this time.

4. Learn to Sail
The Erieau Yacht Club offers summer camps and activities to teach children how to swim or sail. Check out their website for their full list of activities for the upcoming season.

5. Visit the Observation Tower
Just before you reach Erieau, you will see McGeachy Pond Conservation Area on the right-hand side (you cannot miss it!).
Climb the picturesque observation tower to look out over the lake and the pond. This observation tower makes for an awesome spot for photos! We got some of our favorite wedding photos here.


The Erieau Shore Trail is a wide, waterfront trail that runs between McGeachy Pond Conservation Area and Erieau.
The waterfront trail at McGeachy Pond
If you’re visiting during the fall you may get lucky enough to catch the Monarch Butterfly migration, as this the McGeachy Pond wetland provides significant habitat for migrating butterflies.
6. Walk the Erieau Marsh Trail
The Erieau Marsh Trail is a wide, gravel trail that runs along the marshy shores of Rondeau Bay, providing a very easy path for walking, birdwatching, or biking. The trail is also partially wheelchair accessible. The terrain is predictably flat making it an easy out-and-back trail.
Park along Erieau Road (just past McGeachy Pond), where you see the trail sign right before entering Erieau.
7. Boating, Kayaking, and Canoeing
One of the best things to do in Erieau is to get out on something that floats! There are plenty of places to rent canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats in Erieau. Check out the Accommodation options below to see which places offer rentals.
We love to load up our family’s kayaks and spend a couple of hours exploring Rondeau Bay. The bay waters are usually calmer than Lake Erie, so we usually find a side street, offload our kayaks, and paddle along the bay shore.

If you decide to cross the channel by the marina, you will be able to paddle along the Rondeau Provincial Park peninsula. You can often see fish, small turtles, and herons, and get a unique tropical feeling as you paddle past spindly roots digging deep into the waters.
Note: The channel is deep for the large boats to get through. Be very cautious when crossing, as these waters have been known to be more dangerous due to boats coming and going, leaving large wakes behind them.
If you’re arriving in Erieau by boat and will need to dock, the Erieau Marina posts all of their rates (nightly, weekly, monthly, or for the season) online.
8. Enjoy Ice Cream!

What would a day at the beach be without ice cream? Mariner’s Cone and Shake is located on Mariner’s Road just as you enter Erieau.
There is also a kilometer-long sidewalk in the median of this road (the Erieau Boulevard Trail) that makes for the perfect opportunity to burn off the ice cream calories!
Unique Things to do Near Erieau
9. Stock up on local Fruits and Vegetables
U-Pick Your Produce

We love picking our produce! Not only do you get the best prices, but it is also such a unique experience that gives you a rare feeling of connection to your food.
Our go-to for U-Pick produce is Pardo’s Berrie Farm, located at 7951 Talbot Trail, Blenheim. They have tons of fruits and vegetables for sale as pick-your-own or already-picked.
Local Produce to Buy
There are also numerous fruit farms and orchards in the area surrounding Erieau that will offer delicious fresh fruit for the cheapest prices you will find. Here are our recommendations for local produce/products to buy while visiting:
Local produce, baked goods, and preserves from our recent springtime trip!
Radishes & Onions: Erieau’s marshy soil is known for growing the “Erieau Super Radish” and onions. As you drive into Erieau you will pass the Super Radish farm, which offers a roadside stand.
Tomatoes, Broccoli, Squash, Pumpkins & Sweet Potatoes: The climate and soil of the Lake Erie North Shore are ideal for growing numerous vegetables and there is no lack of them here! Pick some up at local roadside farmer’s markets.
Apples, Pears, Cherries, Nectarines, Peaches, Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries: Some orchards, fruit farms, and roadside farmer’s markets that we recommend for these products (and more) are Delhaven Orchards (8182 Talbot Trail, Blenheim), Pardo’s Berrie Farm, Greatview Orchards (8677 Talbot Trail, Blenheim), Manitree Fruit Farms (8445 Talbot Trail, Blenheim).
Baked Goods: Pardo Villa Acres Farm Market and Bakery (7707 Talbot Trail, Blenheim) has served this community for over 80 years through its delicious baked goods made with local produce. You will find pies, crisps, loaves, bread, gluten-free items, and more!
10. Unique Shopping in Blenheim
For a small town, Blenheim (15 minutes from Erieau) has amazing boutique shops. From lady's and men’s fashion to home décor and artisanal jewelry, to an eco-hub market, this town lives up to its slogan “Experience Unique Shopping”.
We highly recommend Charlie’s Café for a place to grab locally roasted coffee, kombucha, or craft beer and intentionally-healthy snacks.



We also think you will enjoy browsing many local items including locally butchered meat products, Ontario-made beauty products, and environmentally-conscious home goods in Mindful Market and Eco Hub.
11. Visit Wineries and Breweries
The mild climate of the Lake Erie North Shore is optimal for vineyards, and while not much barley is grown here for the beer, that hasn’t stopped locals from starting some unique microbreweries.
Erieau is home to Bayside Brewing Company and is less than 15 minutes from Red Barn Brewing Company. In Chatham (25 minutes away) you will find Early Acres Estate Winery and Sons of Kent Brewing Company.


12. Be a Kid at Greenview Aviaries
This place is so much fun! If you’re traveling with kids or animal lovers of all ages, you can easily spend a full day at Greenview Aviaries Park and Zoo.
Greenview Aviaries is much more than a petting zoo, with a wide variety of exotic animals and birds. On top of this, it offers a top-notch picnic zone, play area, and splash pad.

13. Hike in Rondeau Provincial Park
One of the best outdoor things to do near Erieau is to spend a day exploring Rondeau Provincial Park. The Park has multiple hiking and biking trails that take you through the lush Carolinian forest and wetlands.
It is known for birding (especially during the springtime migration), fishing, and of course, camping. We recommend exploring the Visitor’s Centre and Discovery Program for kids!
Throwback to 2011 at Rondeau Provincial Park!
14. Take a Drive to Wheatley Provincial Park
In the opposite direction to Rondeau, you will find another popular day trip option, Wheatley Provincial Park. You will find a lot of the same activities and amenities here as you will at Rondeau, so choosing between the two largely comes down to which direction you’re planning to travel.
15. Travel on to Point Peele National Park & Peele Island
A visit to Point Peele National Park is well worth making a trip of its own, but if you’re short on time you will still get a great experience spending a few hours hiking and swimming in the southernmost tip of mainland Canada. Walking out to the very tip of the peninsula is definitely worth the trip and makes for an awesome selfie spot!
The Peele Island Ferry runs to Peele Island, which has its thriving, local community! It is filled with picturesque vineyards, lighthouses, and bike trails (including one around the entire island perimeter). A trip to Peele Island would require more than a day to get the best experience.



Erieau Restaurants
Erieau has a handful of fantastic local, family-owned restaurants to choose from that are all steps from the water. We’ve simplified things for you with this up-to-date list.
Molly and OJ’s Restaurant is your go-to for seafood cuisine and all-around delicious dining. Our favorite is the locally-caught Lake Erie perch and pickerel and some homemade clam chowder. Yummy! If you’re just looking to have a few drinks and some pub food, we recommend being seated at the Sandbar Pub, which is on the other side of the same restaurant.

Bayside Brewing Company is a modern, rustic-style pub and onsite brewery. It has a busy bay-front patio and offers lunch, dinner, and appetizer menus and of course a refreshing selection of Bayside beers. We highly recommend their wood-fired pizzas, which also include gluten-free options.

The Galley Grille and Pub (Eau Buoy Grille) is the perfect place to come for your morning coffee or mid-day meal. They serve classic Canadian diner food at a price you can afford.

Mariners Cone and Shake is a very popular ice cream shop in Erieau. Loads of flavors of ice cream, steps from the beach. Who doesn’t love ice cream at the beach?!
