Pinery Provincial Park

What does it mean to be Blue Flag®? Blue Flag® is a world-renowned eco-certification for beaches and marinas. When you see a Blue Flag® flying, you know a beach or marina is clean and accessible; has great water quality; meets high safety standards; and is working hard to protect local shorelines and ecosystems. Lambton County is home to two Blue Flag® beaches and two marinas.
