Beaches and Marinas

Huron-Kinloss' beautiful sandy beaches stretch along Lake Huron's shoreline from Amberley to the south-end of Kincardine. The Huron-Kinloss shoreline is divided into four areas: Point Clark Beach, Lurgan Beach, Bruce Beach and Boiler Beach.

The Community Services Department maintains the beach accesses, portable toilets, public washrooms, and information kiosks located at our beaches.

The Township takes great pride in protecting our shoreline. To ensure our shoreline is well cared for, motorized vehicles are not allowed on the beach without a permit. You will also need a permit to have a fire on the beach. Sand dune destruction is not permitted for any reason. Sand dunes keep our sandy beaches, well, sandy! The Shoreline Management Best Practices Guide is a great resource to learn about all the ways we can protect our beaches.

 Boiler Beach

A beautiful sandy beach located just South of Kincardine; enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Also popular for the Erie Belle boiler, the remains of the Great Lakes Steamer the “Erie Belle” that sank just off the shore of the beach in 1883.

You can access this beach along Boiler Beach Road where it intersects with Concession 12 and Huronville Street.
