General overview
This popular beach town of Port Dover offers a gorgeous beach, pier, local shops, live theater and fresh seafood restaurants. It's also close to golf, local breweries, wineries and fruit and vegetable markets within Norfolk County.
My unique home is only a 10 minute leisurely stroll to this fun touristy community. The house is situated on the water along a private enclave which is quiet. Enjoy the view of the boats passing by from one of the four patios. On Sunday evenings there is free music in the park all summer long. And on Monday nights there are over 200 fancy cars on show to peruse.
Port Dover is less that 90 minutes from Niagara Falls, a world attraction, and the quaint historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, which is renowned for its breweries, wineries and the US border.
Continue along the lakeshore for half an hour and you will find Long Point, a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering eco tours and adventures. Also visit Long Point Provincial Park or Turkey Point Provincial Park for more beaches, boating, fishing and hiking activities. The area abounds with fantastic hiking trails

I stayed at Laurie’s home in Port Dover, Ontario as a Hospitality guest and had a fantastic experience. Laurie was not only a lovely person but also a wonderful hostess. She made my stay very comfortable and enjoyable. One of the highlights of my stay was the huge breakfast that Laurie served and the delicious dinner. I truly felt pampered. Additionally, Laurie organized a lovely walk to the Port Dover beach area and marina which was a great way to explore the town and learn the history, as well as see the numerous shops and restaurants along with a local theatre. We also had the opportunity to participate in an exercise class. Laurie also drove around the town to showcase some stunning viewpoints along Lake Erie. There is so much more coastline and quaint towns, wineries and breweries along the way that I will have to wait for another visit! The accommodation itself was perfect. I had a private and clean guestroom with its own ensuite bathroom, which provided the right amount of privacy and convenience. The room also had a private deck Lastly, I have to mention the views from Laurie’s home from the numerous decks overlooking the river which added to the overall charm of her cozy place. Watching boats, kayaks and paddle boarders pass by was lovely. I highly recommend Laurie’s home and area for anyone wanting to visit the tourist town of Port Dover in Norfolk County as well as the Niagara Region.
