Just a little further south we reached Sauble Beach, Lake Huron. It was a zoo of tourists. It reminded us of that movie with John Candy, Summer Rental where there was no room on the beach whatsoever. To park it would cost either $10 or $20 to park your car. Dogs were not allowed on the beach. That wasn't going to work for us but a friend told us to drive further south to the Chippewas entrance Sauble Beach South.
Much nicer and the beach didn't have as many people.
Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take the dogs there either but the guys were helpful and told us to drive further south on Second Avenue until we hit the General Store - Trading Post and that we would probably be allowed to park and let the dogs out. We were allowed to park right by the hotel - campground right on the beach. We didn't have to pay so we were able to use our money to buy lunch and ice cream and the dogs had a great time enjoying the cool breezes and the many people that stopped to meet them. We spent a few hours there and then continued south through South Hampton, Port Elgin, Tiverton to our last destination, Kincardine.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is the owner of the Sauble Trading Post. I remember you and your dogs coming for a visit on a sunny Saturday in 2009. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Sauble Beach and welcome you to come back soon.
No one worries about dogs on the beach in May or June. This is a great time to visit with pets.
