I was surprised by the street system of Goderich. Wide roads which radiate from a traffic circle.

Not being able to enjoy one of the sandy beaches we did some sightseeing of the surroundings. Fisherman still enjoyed their hobby, and we saw a golf course and even a place to play tennis.
We drove to the Maitland River and did some hiking.

Obviously local individuals and companies pledged money to built this bridge. Their names had been burned into the planks.
It was a nice walk and we enjoyed the scenery.
We did not do any shopping, even after we have been told that the shopping center is an attraction for many people who live in this area.
After an accident walking is not any longer a pleasure for me - it became a pain. But Elizabeth, my wife, loves it. Next time when we visit this beautiful area, we will do this in summer. She can go on a hiking tour, take many pictures while I may visit the "Huron County Museum". This work sharing worked very well. But the beaches and the water we will enjoy together - she in the sun, me in the shade.
We only have to figure out where to find a nice and reasonable prices accommodation in high season. I believe Goderich can be an excellent stating point to explore the surroundings.
If you love activities in the winter they are also offered here - cross country skiing and snowmobiling are the main attractions.
