Located in a picturesque country setting, the Huron Country Playhouse is just minutes from the shores of sparkling Lake Huron in the heart of Ontario's West Coast. This popular vacation destination is full of charm and endless possibilities to discover breathtaking beaches, culinary delights, outstanding accommodations, unique shopping and countless recreational pursuits. In 2011 the Huron Country Playhouse celebrated its landmark 40th Anniversary with an ambitious $4.0 million capital infrastructure expansion and improvement project. Visitors to the theatre can see the upgrades to the front-of-house including new washrooms, lobby, refreshment bar, box office, and gift shop operated by the Huron Country Playhouse Guild, a community-based organization comprised of 90 volunteers.There are 650 brand new theatre seats in the mainstage, and the Playhouse II has been completely renovated, increasing from 150 chairs to a fully raked 300 seat auditorium. Infrared hearing and wheelchair access are available to patrons who require special assistance. A visit to the Huron Country Playhouse takes less than an hour from Stratford, London and Sarnia.

If you like a woodland setting, near the sandy beach (Lake Huron) protected sand dunes and multiple recreational opportunities included hiking, biking, canoeing and relaxing at the campfire, this is the place for you. Very difficult to get a summer site but after labour day the week days are available and even some good sites on the weekends. Look for sites and pricing based on age (Senior Rates, Groups Tents, RV's, Premium sites), Pet Free or Radio free zones. This is a large park and from our experience one of the best along Lake Huron's shoreline. A Visitors Centre and Park store offer cultural information, rentals and even some common food items.

One of the best beaches in Ontario. Nice and clean Bring water shoes as this beach is all pebbles and body suit if you can’t stand the cold water. Lots of activities. Paddleboarding parasailing kayaking etc. Beach was crowded on the weekend. Lifeguards on duty. You have to get here early for a parking spot(4 dollars per hour) or park along Main Street 2.00 per hour. Lots of shopping and restaurants along Main Street.
