Beaches & Marinas

BAYFIELD PIER BEACH

Bluewater's most popular beach location, Bayfield's Main Beach proudly boasts a Blue Flag status, and is fully equipped with a life saving station, drive up access, parking and public washrooms.  

Located next to the Marina, you can enjoy a stroll on the pier, a fresh water swim or just take in the sunshine on the large sandy beach. Located only a short walk from the Historic Village of Bayfield's restaurants and boutiques, this beach is a great option for those looking to enjoy a day on the shores of Lake Huron!

HOWARD STREET BEACH, BAYFIELD

This sandy beach is located just south of Bayfield Pier Beach. It is reached by way of a staircase with approximately 80 steps to the sandy shore. The Howard Street Beach previously provided views of Bayfield's famous shipwreck (pictured above) but a significant storm in 2018 shifted the remains of the vessel to a new resting place beneath the waves.

HOUSTON HEIGHTS BEACH
(Access Closed due to Erosion)

Located at the end of Pavilion Road, just south of Bayfield, Houston Heights Beach offers ample parking, a large picnic pavilion (with washrooms), a wood lot, and a staircase with approximately 85 steps down to the sandy shores.  A small play area with swings for the kids can also be found in this park like setting. 

This location is great for families looking to escape the crowds.

HAY TOWNSHIP BEACH (LOOKOUT) 
(No Beach Access)

At the end of Sarara's Road, on a bluff over-looking Lake Huron you'll find a lookout offering the most breathtaking lake views!
