Summer – the way it’s meant to be
With a gentle breeze blowing in off the lake, summertime in Port Stanley offers ample opportunity to explore the shore. Swim with ease as the Blue Flag, awarded internationally for environmental upkeep and safety, sways in the summer air.
Parasailing and beach volleyball are great ways to keep fit and have fun. Wind down with a leisurely stroll along the sunny shoreline or just lie out on the sand and work on your tan.
Just a short stroll away are the rolling hills of the Kettle Creek Golf course. With roughly 800 mature trees, a majestic pond where swans are known to swim and a historic covered bridge adding to the quaint charm of the course, it doesn’t get much more serene than this.

Anchors
away
A nautical spirit weaves its gentle waves through the town. Port Stanley was founded as a fishing village in 1812, and its nautical roots are still visible to this day. Perch is still the main catch of the day in these parts and you can fish from your boat into Lake Erie.
There are five marinas in Port Stanley, and all of them are fully equipped to store and service your boat.
