Adjacent to the city of Sarnia in Lambton County, Point Edward sits opposite Port Huron, Michigan and is connected to it by the Blue Water Bridge, at the meeting point of the St. Clair River and Lake Huron.

Even under the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario government of Premier Mike Harris, which forced amalgamations of many municipalities in the province (including of many towns which were geographically distinct settlements) in the late 1990s, Point Edward remained untouched.

The Point Edward Arena is a year round facility consisting of an ice rink with an attached recreational hall .

It hosts ice hockey and figure skating events in the winter as well as specialized flooring for other sports held in the summer.

It owns and maintains a great deal of land in Point Edward, but there is little room left for expansion.
