Crystal Beach Hill is a geologically old, naturally formed sand dune roughly 50 feet high and originally about 2,000 feet long, running parallel to the shoreline of Crystal Beach on the southeastern shore of Lake Erie in Fort Erie, Ontario. Part of the dune was later washed away by hydraulic pumps when the surrounding land was developed as the Crystal Beach Park amusement park beginning in 1888, and the remaining hill later became the site of a small residential community built on land the park company sold to its longtime workers in 1983.
