Nestled along Lake Erie’s scenic shores, Leamington Marina is a welcoming gateway to one of Ontario’s most vibrant and picturesque communities.  

Known affectionately as the “Sun Parlour of Canada,” Leamington offers boaters an idyllic cruising destination that blends natural beauty, welcoming amenities, and abundant recreational opportunities.

Leamington Marina is conveniently situated in the heart of Leamington’s bustling waterfront district, featuring 292 slips and accommodating vessels up to 75 feet in length.

As a deep harbour marina, it serves as a gateway to exceptional fishing and boating opportunities on Lake Erie. The marina boasts full services, including a boat launch, shore power, water, full-service fuel and pump-out, wi-fi, showers, laundry, ice, and concessions, all designed with cruisers’ comfort and convenience in mind.

Visitors will discover that Leamington Marina is not merely a place to dock, but a vibrant hub connecting them to a variety of experiences. Just steps away, the Leamington waterfront promenade and nearby Seacliff Park invite visitors to explore walking trails, brand-new basketball and volleyball courts, scenic picnic areas, and beaches perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or leisurely strolls. A beautiful boardwalk conveniently connects the marina directly to Seacliff Park.

Boaters can take advantage of a reliable, on-demand transit service, operating seven days a week, that functions much like a rideshare app. This convenient option makes it easy to explore Leamington’s vibrant dining scene, charming cafés, and specialty boutiques, as well as markets brimming with fresh local produce and gourmet offerings.

Whether craving farm-to-table dishes or globally inspired cuisine, visitors will find diverse flavours reflecting Leamington’s rich cultural heritage.

Nature enthusiasts will be thrilled with the proximity of Point Pelee National Park, Canada’s southernmost point, recognized worldwide as a birdwatching paradise and a sanctuary for rare plant and wildlife species. Cruisers can conveniently rent bicycles or arrange transportation to the park to immerse themselves in its trails, beaches, and observation platforms.

Throughout the season, Leamington hosts a variety of events that highlight the town’s vibrant culture and community spirit, from festivals and outdoor concerts to night markets and family-friendly celebrations.
