Road trips to the beach don’t get better than this! Ontario’s Nickel Beach gives visitors the rare opportunity to park right on the sand, so you can take your beach day setup to the next level.
Located on Lake Erie in Port Colborne, this sprawling white sand beach also has tons of nearby trails to explore and amenities including shady picnic areas and volleyball courts.
It’s said to be one of the few remaining destinations that offers parking right on the beachfront.
