Ipperwash Beach is beautiful year round, and the cooler weather is a great time for a walk near the lake followed by some delicious food and beverages, says Ipperwash Beach Club owner Grace Dekker. She has led groups through the Dunes and Swales Trail near her Lambton County restaurant and is extremely knowledgeable about them. “Anyone who is into nature walks, this is ideal,” she says.
The beach club is the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat while in the area. The hot soups and lattes are nice on a cool day, Dekker says, and coming in for some nutritious, warm food when the weather is colder will hit the spot.
There are daily food and drink specials and the restaurant has 12 domestic beers on tap and another 12 from different parts of the world. Popular offerings include the soup and sandwich specials, the tuna melt and fish on Fridays.
Ipperwash Beach Club also rents its facilities for staff parties and other events. “With the holidays coming, we can do a turkey dinner for a Christmas celebration,” Dekker says. “We decorate the restaurant up nicely during this period and everyone is welcome.”
The Dekkers have reduced rates now for their suite accommodations, which are only 150 metres from the beach. “The view from the suites is stunning.”
The beach club is open year round and its hours until May are Thursday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
