Sandbanks Provincial Park

As the day winds down, PEC’s sunsets are nothing short of magical. One of the top spots to catch a breathtaking sunset is Sandbanks Provincial Park. Known for its expansive sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, the park provides a front-row seat to some of the most awe-inspiring sunset views you’ll ever see.


The sun dipping below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the tranquil waters, while you relax on the beach with a gentle breeze cooling the air. It’s a scene that perfectly captures the beauty of the county.


Picton Harbour


Another fantastic location to enjoy the sunset is the charming town of Picton. The waterfront at Picton Harbour offers a setting where you can watch the sun set over the calm waters of the bay. Take a stroll along the docks or find a cozy spot on a nearby bench either way, the view is spectacular. The vibrant colors of the sunset reflecting off the water create a breathtaking spectacle that perfectly complements the town's quaint atmosphere.


Hillier & Scenic Lookouts


For a more elevated perspective, head to the lookout points at Prince Edward County’s various parks and scenic overlooks. One such spot is the Hillier Vineyard, which offers views of the rolling countryside and the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario. As the sun begins to set, the landscape transforms into warm hues and soft shadows, making it an ideal place for capturing those perfect sunset photos.

Your Own Private Sunset
