Besides the amazing scenery & peaceful ambiance, there are many things to do.  Along the Loyalist Parkway are many antique & collectible shops -- can keep you busy for many days!  The small towns have all kinds of festivals throughout the summer months!  Golf courses close by as mentioned before, the Sand Banks is a Provincial Park with picnic area, fast food, tot lots, & amazing sand banks that will keep the kids busy for hours (as well as great exercise!) - located outside Picton.

The newest activity is visiting wineries.  The adjoining county, Prince Edward, is being touted as the newest "Niagara on the Lake."  With plans for 40 new wineries, 24 were to be opened by Christmas 2007.  The ice wine & first frost is wonderful! Many farms to visit, including orchards & lavender farms.  A delightful way to spend an afternoon!

If you're a swimmer, take a boat or swim the channel to the island across the way (easy swim).  The island is perpendicular to the shoreline offering Weller's Bay on one side and Lake Ontario on the other.  The Lake side has a beach & many sand bars that allow you to walk out a long way going up & down in different water depth with a wonderful sandy bottom.  The Bay side is great for water skiing -- not choppy like the Lake, normally warmer water, but a lot of weeds in various locations.  We even have resident swans.

Whether you want to walk, run, hike, bike, golf, swim, scuba, ski, shop, fish, boat, bird watch, play cards, horseshoes, read, or just relax, it's all here!
