Timeline

  1. 18:17

    Chapter One

    Grab a drink at Chapter One. This modern complex sits right by Lumley Beach, giving you a head start on the walk and a chance to settle in before the crowd arrives.

  2. 18:42

    Lumley Beach

    Walk to Lumley Beach. It is a short stroll from Chapter One. Find a spot on the sand facing west. The sun sets toward the W, giving you a clear, unobstructed view of the day ending over the water.

  3. 19:32

    Gigibonta

    End with ice cream at Gigibonta. Head back toward the beach area for Italian-style cakes and ice cream. It is a nice treat after the sunset, though note that prices here are on the higher side.

Local tip

Lumley Beach is a 21-minute walk from Goderich Beach. Do not try to walk back to Goderich after sunset; the roads are not lit.

Check before you go

  • Chapter One is an entertainment complex. Check if they have special events if you want dinner, otherwise the bar is open for drinks.
