Port Stanley is south of St Thomas in Elgin County at the lake end of Hwy 4. Most watchers park on the east side of Kettle Creek in the old coal pile storage yard where one can look straight out at the east breakwall where shorebirds often land. Alternately, you can move to the west side of Kettle Creek by crossing the lift bridge just west of the only set of lights in Port Stanley. There are various parking areas near the turn around and along the beach. Walk out to the beach where you can watch for shorebirds flying by, resting or foraging along the beach or perched on the west side of the west breakwall.
