This enchanting Ontario beach town is a hidden gem with some of the 'best views' in Canada

Get your camera ready!

Lead Writer, Travel

This beach town has more to offer than charming streets and sandy shores. It's home to some of Canada's "best views," with scenery that feels straight off of a postcard.

A new study from digital financial service provider Remitly has revealed Canada's top 30 best views.

The study, based on over 483,000 traveller reviews, highlights gorgeous destinations from coast to coast. Five Ontario destinations were included in the roundup, two of which hail from this charming beach town.

Goderich is a dreamy village perched on the sparkling shores of Lake Huron. It's known as "Canada's prettiest town," so it's no surprise that some of the county's best views can be found here.

According to Remitly, Menesetung Bridge and Goderich Lighthouse both offer incredible vistas.

Menesetung Bridge is a restored railway bridge with gorgeous views of Lake Huron and the Maitland River. It's a beautiful spot for a stroll, especially during the fall, when the surrounding trees transform with vibrant hues.

The Goderich Lighthouse, dating back to 1847, sits atop a bluff. The historic structure is surrounded by lush gardens and features 100 steps leading down to the beach.

Aside from beautiful views, Goderich offers three scenic beaches and many cute local shops.

Other Ontario locations featured in the list of Canada's best views include the Niagara SkyWheel, Niagara Observation Tower and Mount Nemo Conservation Area.

Bear's Hump in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, was crowned the best view in the country.

If you're craving some stunning scenery, Goderich is worth a day trip.
