Scenic strolls don’t get better than this. The gorgeous town of Goderich has a boardwalk trail that connects to various beaches and it’s totally worth a visit.
Goderich, Ontario is a small coastal town situated on bluffs with a gorgeous view of Lake Huron.
The town is known for its almost turquoise-blue beaches (three in fact) and a very charming historic downtown.
How charming is it, you ask? Well, Queen Elizabeth II once called it “the prettiest town in Canada.”
The boardwalk trail extends 1.5 kilometres along the waterfront, with an ice cream pit stop at the end of it.
The pathway is over 10 feet wide and offers front-row views of the beautiful “must-see” beaches along Lake Huron.
Goderich’s three beaches are Main Beach, St. Christopher’s Beach, and Rotary Cove Beach.
