Charming and known for its relaxed pace and old-fashioned hospitality, Prince Edward County is surrounded by Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte, and is sometimes referred to as Quinte’s Isle. Picton - a popular touring centre on the scenic Loyalist Parkway, this attractive and historic small town with a natural deepwater harbour is the hub of Prince Edward County. A shoreline that in points around Picton creates dunes of white sand standing over 30 metres high.
Sandbanks Provincial Park
Sandbanks and North Beach Provincial Parks. Endless fine sand beaches and dunes, along the island's western shore, for swimming and picnicking. Camping at Sandbanks only. It is about 2.5 hours’ drive from Toronto, three hours from Ottawa, four hours from Montreal. Home to gorgeous beaches, on hot sunny days, Sandbanks feels like a tropical island getaway without the plane ticket. One of Ontario’s most popular holiday destinations.
