Hey Stan
Most Prov Parks allow dogs in the campground but restrict them from the
beaches-BUT with some exceptions with specific "pet beaches". In some cases
those pet beaches aren't the best for doing kiting.

I went to the Pinery last year (by Grand Bend on lake Huron) the beach is
long and wide enough for good launch and land - there are 9 beach areas and
beach area #1 was designated for pets - it was excellent. The parks do ask
that pets be kept on a leash but when I was there for a week they were all
off leash playing in the water and keeping close to the families on their
beach spot. I guess if your dogs wants to take off down the beach it would
be better to be on a leash when they aren't playing. I had mine off the
leash most of the time but he would want to follow me if I too off surfing.
The only draw back is that it's such a big park and beach area #1 is the
furthest beach zone and it's a looping one way road in the park so you can't
walk from your campsite onto the beach area one, it was about a 10-15 drive
but I was in the furthest camp area (but also the biggest/quietest camp
sites). So I gave the pinery prov park full marks on pet user friendly and
good launch site.

On lake Erie, Long Point Prov park allows pets - but I'm not sure if they
have a pet beach - BUT, if you go to the day use area, you can walk 30 feet
outside the park onto public beach where we all surf and a lot of people
bring dogs. There are two parks and there is a small store with a free
public parking lot. This is where all of cheap bastard kite surfers go in
the summer. So it's directly beside park #1 and then a couple of km of beach
until park #2 - either would be good, but again take your dog to the public
beach area.

Wasaga has a pet beach zone, but not camping close by, a drive from just
outside of town.

Hope this helps, any more info required, just drop me a note.
