The other restaurant in Sarnia (in the neighbourhood of Brights Groove). Nice patio with view of the lake. A little bit higher priced because of the view. The beach in front of the restaurant is public and free to use (just make sure you park legally) near park.

Sightseeing
Blue Water Bridge. Linking Ontario with Michigan. Nice park and in the milder seasons: Bridge fries. Buy fries (or poutine) and eat them right there. Real Sarnia style is to eat them in your idling car with AC on... or use one of the many benches and picnic tables...

well... This is the Chemical Valley: the economic powerhouse of the Sarnia and region. Historically, the Sarnia region was the first place in North America where oil was harvested and refined. Cool to take a drive down Vidal Street and see it!
