Long Point is a sand spit and medium-sized hamlet on the north shore of Lake Erie, part of Norfolk County in the province of Ontario, Canada.

The cut has since closed along the lakeshore, but boaters continue to use the northern portion to reach the bay, homes and cottages.

With law enforcement based in London, Ontario, these blackbirders would store their loot on the many hiding spots that Long Point offered.

Abigail Becker on several occasions in the 19th century waded into stormy waters to save crew members of boats that had run aground.

[3] Long Point is popular destination for boating, swimming, fishing, waterfowl-hunting and canoeing, attracting between 100,000[3] and 300,000 visitors each year.

Habitats on and surrounding Long Point include woodlands, sand dunes and bluffs, marshes, ponds, meadows, beaches and lakeshore.

In 1982, the Long Point National Wildlife Area was recognized as a wetland of international significance under the Ramsar Convention.

Inner Long Point Bay covers approximately 78 km2 (30 sq mi) between the spit and Lake Erie's north shore.

Immediately adjacent to the coastal reserve is a distinctive terrestrial area of temperate 'Carolinian' broadleaf forests, conifer plantations, oak savannas and diverse agro-ecosystems.

Its national headquarters overlooks Long Point Inner Bay on the western limits of Port Rowan, adjacent to base of the peninsula.
