I only recently found out about this beach, along the Lake Erie shoreline in between Toronto and Michigan. I went there last Friday and was a bit disappointed. Hanlan's Point in Toronto is closer for me, but you don't have to contend with heavy city traffic to get to Port Burwell. But here here is my list of the pros and cons of Port Burwell vs. Hanlan's Point:
Pros:
- It's a nude beach
- No downtown traffic to deal with getting there
- No ferry boat ride to get there
- Since it's not downtown, most people there are genuine nudists, there aren't as many stalkers looking for single, naked women.
- Doesn't get as crowded as Hanlan's
Cons:
- The drive is too long. Was only 2.5 hours but felt closer to 3.5
- I thought I'd save money between parking in Toronto and the ferry ride, but it still cost me $14.50 to get in Port Burwell (as opposed to $20 for parking in Toronto and $7.50 to ride the ferry boat)
- The bugs: They were like giant dragonfly mosquitoes, and they were all over the place. You can't get away from them.
- Once you park, you have to hike about 15 minutes down the beach to get to the nude section.
- No public bathrooms down by the nude section. For guys it was no problem. There is a lot of vegetation behind the beach, we could just pee in there. Girls, not as easy.
- No cell reception for me. I can't use data in Canada, but there, I couldn't even text (I was waiting to hear from my ex about what time to pick up my daughter, and also from a friend about possibly meeting out after the beach, but I couldn't get in touch with either until I left the beach and went a distance from there.
I may go back there again, but I much prefer Hanlan's Point over this one. If Port Burwell is much closer for someone, then I suppose it's the obvious choice for them. I do believe you can purchase a yearly entry to the park, which would be cheaper than paying $7.50 every time you go.
