It's known as "one of Canada's best beach towns."

Lead Writer, Travel

If waking up to sandy shores and blue water sounds like your dream life, you may want to consider a move to this enchanting Ontario beach town. With picturesque views and stunning sunsets, it's a gorgeous spot to call home.

In a post on Narcity Canada's Facebook page, we asked readers to share which Ontario town they would love to relocate to. This waterfront destination was one of the destinations mentioned.

Grand Bend is a scenic small town located along the shores of Lake Huron. According to Lambton Shores, it's known as "one of Canada's best beach towns" and is home to "a variety of restaurants, shops, and nightlife destinations."

The beach has been designated as one of Canada's Blue Flag beaches for over 10 years, so you can expect clean shores and safe swimming here.

Pinery Provincial Park, located just outside the town, has another 10 kilometres of beautiful shoreline as well as rolling dunes and scenic trails.

According to the Grand Bend website, people move to the area to "advance their quality of life or just to love the continuous beaches, warm waters and sandy lake bottoms even if just for the afternoon."

With restaurants, local shops and beautiful beaches, this Ontario town is a little slice of summer paradise.

For readers, it's a dream spot to move to, and it offers a taste of beach life every day.
