Description

Join us to discover why everyone loves Prince Edward County for some small town tourism and an afternoon at the beach. First stop is en route, the famous Big Apple in Colborne, Ontario's most fun pit stop. You'll have the chance to grab a fresh apple pie or cider doughnut for later and meet the animals. From there, it’s a straightforward drive into Picton, the unofficial capital of Prince Edward County. We’ll have about an hour to explore independent bookstores and galleries. The Regent Theatre’s façade is something to see, and we can settle into a café or the County Canteen for lunch. Don’t forget to grab a cone at Slickers Ice Cream before we move on. In the early afternoon, we’ll head to Sandbanks Provincial Park to relax on the beach or take a dip in the water. Don't fancy staying still, you'll also have the option of a short hike, leading through rolling sand ridges and wetland areas. After a few hours of beach and hike time, we’ll pack up our half-eaten pie and make our way back to Toronto. This is what summer days were made for.
