We had a great stay at the loft, Dorothy and Ted were very accommodating! The closest beach is a 5 minute walk, it's private and quiet which is nice. If you are looking to be around more people and bigger sand area, Sauble Beach is less than a 10 minute drive, and Southampton Beach is less than 15 minutes, it all depends what you are looking for. They rent out two other cottages across from the loft, so really helpful if you want to cottage with other families/friends!
