Going to the beach is an enjoyable activity for a beautiful summer’s day, and it can be made even better with your dog! If you live in Ontario or are planning a vacation there, here’s a list of beaches that not only allow dogs but also have dog-dedicated areas. They are scattered across this large province, from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.
Many of these beaches are in provincial parks, so you can also enjoy a good hike through nature during your day at the beach with your best friend.

Conclusion
Before you leap into your car with your dog by your side, double-check what the rules at your destination are concerning dogs. Rules sometimes change, and what was an off-leash beach yesterday could be a leash-only beach today.
It’s important to keep your dog in the dog areas and follow the rules. If you are caught by a park warden breaking any rules, you’ll probably get hit with a big fine. It is always best to be safe than sorry.
But as long as you treat the parks and beaches with a healthy dose of respect, you can enjoy your outing with your best friend. It’s bound to be spectacular at any one of these beaches!
Kathryn was a librarian in a previous lifetime and is currently a writer about all things pets.
