Despite the cold, who’s to say you can’t enjoy a day at the beach? Maybe jumping in isn’t ideal, but you could still enjoy the wonderful vistas they’re known to offer. And the best place to do it is in Wellington, Ontario – a true gem within Prince Edward County.
You’ll find this wonderful town located on the north shore of Lake Ontario. It’s home to lovely small shops, local eateries, and a few places to spend the night.
Next stop: Wellington, Ontario
Maybe you’ve driven past it? It’s just a short drive from Sandbanks Provincial Park. But if you’re coming from Toronto, it’s about a two and a half hours drive.
Though it will take you a bit to get there, if you’re up for the drive, it is totally day trip friendly. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy.
Stop for a bite to eat at La Condesa, book a wine tasting at the Sandbanks Estate Winery, or check out its cafes, the choices feel almost endless. Though there’s lots to explore in Wellington, as previously mentioned, the town has a pristine beach, complete with white sand.
Outdoor fun
Swimming in Lake Ontario in March does not sound great, so scrap that idea. What you can do instead is embark on a journey along the town’s scenic boardwalk. It lines the beach and guides you to a lighthouse, according to Discover Wellington.
It truly is the perfect escape.
When you’re ready to call it a night and rather spend another day in the area, you can retreat to The Lakeside Motel or the Drake Devonshire. There’s lots to do in the area, making it a weekend getaway is a must.
So what are you waiting for? Plan your next outdoor adventure and head to Wellington, Ontario. It’s lovely all year round.
