The Municipality of Port Hope hosts two main public beaches. Our East and West beaches are fantastic places to unwind. These beaches provide a quiet place to take a dip or enjoy a sunset. Playgrounds and picnic areas are available close by.
The beaches are not lifeguarded, please use at your own risk. Lifejackets are recommended for boating, and dogs must be on a leash at all times.
Water readings are completed weekly and are made available by the HKPR Health Unit.
