Ontario’s Pinery Provincial Park is home to a stunning 10 km long beach and it’s the perfect spot for world-class sunsets. Here’s what to know.
Located on the shores of Lake Huron in Grand Bend, Pinery is described by Ontario Parks as a “breathtakingly beautiful park with 10 km of sand beach.”
According to Ontario Parks, it contains “extremely rare and fragile” Oak Savanna and Coastal Dune Ecosystems that offer breathtaking views.

“Pinery’s landmass was created over the past 6,000 years by sand dune formations, resulting in an impressive coastal sand dune complex spanning over 9.5 km of the Lake Huron shoreline,” writes Ontario Parks.
To give you an idea of how rare these dunes are, Ontario Parks says that they make up less than 0.5% of our province’s land.
Its beach is also an excellent family destination with an extensive interpretive program.
What also stands out, according to Ontario Parks, is its sunsets. They were once ranked among the “Top 10 Best in the World” by National Geographic.
Now that’s an accomplishment.
You can take in the sunset views from the sandy shoreline or on the water. Nothing beats that.
