#1: Parking
Finding parking in a tightly packed town like Grand Bend can be a challenge. On weekends, some circle around for upwards of thirty minutes and still have no luck. When staying at The Bend, the rooms either come with one indoor parking space in their garage, or one municipal parking pass. This parking pass is for the parking lot on the corner of Huron St. and King St.
Our advice to you would be: avoid moving your car at all costs! Unless you're in the parking garage, parking spots get snatched up extremely quickly. The Bend is close enough to the water that you don't need your vehicle to go to any of the nearby attractions. Once you find a good spot, it is best to leave your car there for the duration of your stay. The main strip is always bustling with people and it is a nice (and short!) walk to the beach.
#2: Beach Rentals
My favourite thing to do in Grand Bend was renting jet skis. Xtreme Watersports has everything you could possibly need. From boats, jet skis, or charters, go to them for your rental needs. The Bend guests get 5% off all rentals during their stay, a great perk!
