This 46-kilometer multi-use trail runs through the heart of PEC, offering beautiful views of vineyards, wetlands, and quaint towns along the way. It’s the perfect ride for cyclists of all levels, with plenty of spots to stop for a break or a photo-op.
Beach Day at North Beach Provincial Park

North Beach Provincial Park is a quieter alternative to Sandbanks, offering miles of sandy shoreline and warm, shallow waters. It’s ideal for a day of swimming, picnicking, and simply soaking up the sun. And when the day winds down, head back to your rental cottage for a home-cooked meal on the outdoor grill, followed by s’mores around the firepit.
