The beautiful sandy beach should be the focus of your next excursion to Port Burwell East Beach, in the Municipality of Bayham.

Located close to Port Burwell Provincial Park on the north shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of Big Otter Creek, Port Burwell Main Beach is a well maintained sandy beach. The beach is located near the Port Burwell Lighthouse, which is one of the oldest wooden lighthouses in Canada. The lighthouse was built in 1840 and while it is not used today, visitors are still able to climb the stairs to the top. Port Burwell is a Blue Flag beach, awarded in 2018. There is also free parking available.
