Featured Conservation Area - Enjoy a Day at the Beach

Holiday Beach Conservation Area is one of ERCA's most popular destinations. It features more than 800 metres of sandy beach on the shores of Lake Erie, and more than 90 serviced and unserviced campsites. With a picnic area, playground, nature trails, boardwalk and stocked trout pond, it is an ideal place for a family vacation or weekend getaway, or even just to stay and play for a day.

Last year, ERCA rebuilt one of the comfort stations and this year, plans are being finalized to re-construct a second facility. "We also plan to move forward with a Master Planning process," explains Kevin Money, Director of Conservation Areas. "As ecotourism continues to grow in importance to the tourism sector in this community, we want to ensure that we keep pace with the amenities we have to offer." As well, park staff have a renewed commitment to exemplary customer service to further enhance guest experiences.
