Perhaps the best beach on the Canadian shore of Lake Erie, Crystal Beach is a south-facing beach and was named after the crystal waters of the lake itself.
The area was once a huge tourist attraction, being home to the famous Crystal Beach Amusement Park, which ran for over a century before closing in the late 1980s.
The park has since been replaced by an elite gated community, the Crystal Beach Tennis and Yacht Club, and the area is also home to a spa, yoga studio, and various upscale eateries.
It's a great place to spend a day and the beach benefits from gentle slopes into the water and cool breezes that are very welcome on sunny summer days.
