Grand Beginnings
Majestic pine and oak forests led to the founding of the village of Grand Bend.

Grand Bend derived its name from a hairpin turn in the Ausable (Aux Sables) River, a short distance inland from Lake Huron where sand dunes blocked the river's outlet to the lake.

As many return visitors to Grand Bend can attest, the place comes alive during the summer months and is one of the most popular resorts on Lake Huron. National Geographic described it as having one of the “Top Ten Best Sunsets” in the world. For more information on the history of Grand Bend visit the Wikipedia Page!

Blue Flag Designation!
The Blue Flag Program for beaches and marinas is run by the non-governmental, non-profit organisation called the “Foundation for Environmental Education” (FEE). Started in France in 1985, the Blue Flag Program now exists in 38 countries.

A Blue Flag designation means Grand Bend's beach has met strict guidelines and criteria dealing with water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management and safety and other services. These criteria include cleanliness, provisions for waste and recycling, zoning of activities and environmental education activities for a variety of people.

Enjoy the Grand Bend beach with confidence!
