Review:
Another small Canadian town that really comes to life in the summer, Port Elgin is situated in Bruce County in Ontario. The town was first settled back in the 1800s but really grew in the 20th century as word started to spread about how picturesque it was and most visitors started heading out to the area on sunny days.
The beach here is long and fitted out with lots of good amenities.
Other local attractions and activities include the Port Elgin and North Shore Railroad and the annual Pumpkinfest special event.
Lots of great walking trails can be found along the coast here too, and the beach is just a short walk from lots of highly rated cafes, bars, and restaurants. Port Elgin Map
