Enjoy a Holiday at the Beach!

As the halcyon days of summer are upon us, you don't have to travel great distances to enjoy a beautiful beach. Holiday Beach in Amherstburg is one of the most popular conservation areas operated by the Essex Region Conservation Authority. "The beautiful sandy beach is definitely one of the biggest draws to this former Provincial Park," explains Kevin Money, Coordinator of Conservation Areas. "As well, Holiday Beach is one of the few local areas that offer seasonal and short term treed campsites."

Visitors to the park will also enjoy several kilometers of natural trails, a fabulous viewing tower overlooking Big Creek, a stocked trout pond for the expert and novice anglers alike. The picnic areas and playground are also popular with visitors. "People love to come to come to Holiday Beach for a day trip, or spend a family weekend or vacation camping here," Money goes on to say.

As well, Holiday Beach will host its second Hawk Run on August 20. Holiday Beach Conservation Area is located on the shores of Lake Erie in Amherstburg. For more information, or to reserve a campsite, contact us at 519 736-3772.
