Wandering the West Coast of Ontario: Towns, Ports and Beaches Along the Huron Shore - Paperback
by Fred Dahms (Author)
This volume describes and illustrates with colour photographs the fascinating character of the towns and villages along the "West Coast" of Ontario (Eastern Shore of Lake Huron) from Southampton to Grand Bend. They all began as ports and rural service centres but have become favourite locations for tourists planning to swim, fish, sail, parasail, shop, explore heritage architecture and partake of fine food. Most have historic lighthouses and all provide excellent accommodations for visitors. Several also offer superb Summer Theatre in new and historic venues. Summer activities include parades, concerts, tours and water sports. Most offer cross-country skiing in the winter. All have quaint historic architecture and all provide local maps, entertainment guides and opportunities for people of all ages. The "West Coast" of Ontario is worth several visits with this book to guide you and describe the important attractions in each location.
