The mayor of Lambton Shores is pleased but not surprised that Grand Bend Beach has been named by Reader's Digest as the third best in Canada. Bill Weber says, as far as he's concerned, it's the best in the country. He says it's taken a lot of work obtaining Blue Flag Status and installing amenities like a splash pad. He says more improvements are on the way.

The bandshell project north of the beach house is being spearheaded by the Grand Bend Rotary Club. Reader's Digest ranked Grand Bend Beach third behind Manitoba's Grand Beach on Lake Winnipeg and the top rated Long Beach on Vancouver Island. One other Ontario beach made the list. Wasaga Beach is eighth.
