Provincial Park & Beach

Boasting three large public beach areas, the sandbanks are a huge draw for families in particular and are some of the top beaches in Ontario. Of these, the very best beach for families is Outlet Beach, popular for its shallow shores and safe swimming. Wildlife enthusiasts won't be disappointed, either, as the parks offers many quieter spots that are perfect for bird-watching, especially in spring and fall as migrating bird species pass through. An extensive trail network crisscrosses the dunes and wetlands, and interesting interpretive programs are offered.

Museum

The pride of the museum's collection, though, is its fully-restored Halifax bomber. Built during WWII and a mainstay of Allied bombing campaigns over Europe, visitors can even book a private tour of this aircraft's interior, the only surviving example of the bomber known to exist (a rare Lancaster bomber is also currently being restored). Other aircraft, like the impressive Hercules troop and cargo carrier, can also be toured. A gift shop is located on-site.

A highlight of a visit is exploring the Oeno Gallery's impressive sculpture garden. Set amid four acres of pleasantly landscaped grounds adjacent to the gallery, the garden is home to some 30 installations, including sculptures that encourage viewers to unleash their curiosity.

Highlights of a visit include fascinating displays related to everything from shipbuilding to fishing, as well as rum running, a risky occupation that peaked during the US prohibition when illegal alcohol was smuggled from local (also illegal) distillers to New York. Boat races and recreational boating are also covered. Also of note is the old lighthouse, brought here from nearby Duck Island, along with numerous ship models and artifacts

Get a dose of Provence and aromatherapy in the purple fields of Prince Edward County Lavender just a 10-min. drive north of Wellington. Tour the fields, shop the boutique for handcrafted products, maybe even book a room in their B&B for the ultimate lavender experience. The peak flowering time is from late June to July. During this time, the lavender farm hosts the two-day Lavender Festival.

These days, it’s not easy task to find a patch of clear night sky that’s not obstructed by light pollution. But, just 37 kilometres north of Napanee the L&A Dark Sky Viewing Area (DSVA) is ready to wow you with incredible, clear views. This spot is the most southerly point in Ontario that offers a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago.
