Grimsby Beach flourished with day trips and church and company picnics throughout the 1920's and into the 1930's. Daylong picnics were one of the specialties of Grimsby Beach and companies and different associations regularly chose Grimsby Beach as the site of their annual picnics. Often there were so many organizations holding their picnics at Grimsby Beach on the same day that the railway station wasn't large enough to handle the crowds. On these occasions the trains were sidetracked at Grimsby or Beamsville and the passengers brought in by bus.

This was the last of the grand eras in the history of Grimsby Beach. A change in ownership and global events during the next two decades impacted on the operation of this famous summer resort.
