Swim and sunbathe on the sandy beaches of Port Hope, Cobourg and Brighton (Presqu'ile Provincial Park) on the Lake Ontario waterfront. Would you like to try out some other locations?
- Hastings, west of the bridge on both the north and south shores of the Trent River.
- Lake Ontario at Lakeport Road (east of Grafton off of County Rd 2, exit at Wicklow Beach Rd). There is a pebbly beach with a little stream running into Lake Ontario.
- Rice Lake: Gore's Landing is shaded and pebbly; Bewdley is another spot and includes a playground.
- Little Lake Public Beach (west of Brighton) where Trent Valley Road turns into Lake Rd (south of Edville)
- Lion's Park beach at the Trent River, Campbellford
________________________________
Are you looking for more than just a swim? Give Brighton a try for your scuba diving adventure since it has a unique island character and 800 km of spectacular coastline for diving.
It is home to the shipwrecked, 80 ft. long, HMS Speedy which was a 1798 battle schooner with four-pound guns.
Visit the Ontario Underwater Council events page as they enjoy using Presqu'ile Provincial Park as a base for a few of their underwater events.
