Your guide to Prince Edward
All About Prince Edward
Located on the eastern shores of Lake Ontario, the community of Prince Edward — not to be confused with the province of Prince Edward Island to the east — is known for its magnificent beaches and picturesque sand dunes reaching over 80 feet high. Boating, fishing, and swimming are just a few ways to enjoy the natural beauty of Sandbanks Provincial Park on Lake Ontario, and there are more than 300 bird species to spot in the wider region, from songbirds to hawks.
But the scenery isn’t the only thing to note here. The region’s thriving food scene focuses on fresh local seafood, including salmon. And with more than 35 wineries, you’ll also find plenty of places to try cool-climate varieties such as pinot noir and chardonnay. The Arts Trail features the work of ceramics specialists, photographers, and painters all over the region — just follow the blue signs.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Prince Edward
The weather in southern Ontario is cool and temperate, with four distinct seasons. The summer months are an excellent time to look for cottage rentals in Prince Edward County, as you can expect pleasant temperatures for hiking or spending a day at the beach. In spring, you can enjoy tree blossoms and the Spring Birding Festival, which includes guided walks at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. Fall offers even more events and festivals like the Sandbanks Music Festival in September and the Fall Countylicious in November, which is a curated celebration of local food and drink. During the winter, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as snow covers the trees and hillsides, but come prepared with waterproof boots and a warm coat.

Approximately 100 handcrafted birdhouses sit atop individual poles to form what is known as Birdhouse City, located in the Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area.
