Lakeshore

About Lakeshore

Lakeshore is the largest and most populous municipality in Essex County, with about 40,000 residents along the south shore of Lake St. Clair. It grew more than 10% from 2016 to 2021 and combines lakeside towns with wide-open farmland.

Living here

Belle River is the main hub, with a lively main street, marina and beaches; it even calls itself the jet ski capital of Canada. Emeryville and Puce offer waterfront and newer family homes, while Comber, Woodslee and Stoney Point give a quieter, rural pace. Many residents commute to Windsor, and the Atlas Tube Centre is the community’s recreation hub.

Highlights

• Belle River marina, beaches and waterfront festivals
