The Village of Bayfield is 25 minutes north of Grand Bend on Highway 21. It is worth the drive if you want to do some casual shopping. There are lots of small stores with a variety of items to choose from. We recommend Main Street Gallery, The Dublin Mercantile. There are several art galleries. And if you get hungry try The Black Dog or the Albion Hotel. About 3 minutes north of town is The Docks Restaurant where you can take in all the sail boats at the marina.
