Beach days and warm weekend escapes<\/a> might seem far away, but you don’t have to wait until summer to start dreaming.<\/p>\n

This majestic park is home to stunning sandy shores and sparkling waters, and it’s worth keeping on your radar for a warm-weather getaway.<\/p>\n

Located just a few hours from Montreal, the park is a dreamy spot to spend a summer day, offering crystal waves and velvety beaches.<\/p>\n

North Beach Provincial Park is a scenic summer oasis on the shores of Lake Ontario, about four hours from Montreal.<\/p>\n

It’s a quieter alternative to its neighbour, Sandbanks Provincial Park<\/a>, with a “one-kilometre ribbon of sand,” making it a dreamy spot for a summer getaway.<\/p>\n

This hidden gem park offers more than 2,000 metres of silky beaches and a serene enclosed bay.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a gradual drop-off into the water, you’ll want to keep to the lake side, as there is a steep drop-off on the bay side.<\/p>\n

In addition to swimming, the park offers birding, fishing and boating.<\/p>\n

It’s a popular summer destination, so you’ll need to plan your visit beforehand.<\/p>\n

While in the area, you can also check out Sandbanks Provincial Park, home to three gorgeous white sand beaches and rolling dunes.<\/p>\n

Or, visit some of the region’s quaint small towns, such as Picton or Wellington, where you’ll find cozy cafes, quaint shops, and local gems. Prince Edward County<\/a> is also known for its wine scene, so it’s worth stopping by one of its scenic vineyards for a tasting. <\/p>\n

With beautiful beaches and crystal waters, North Beach Provincial Park is a warm-weather paradise.<\/p>\n
