Kayaking and Paddleboarding on Lake Ontario
There’s nothing quite like paddling through the clear waters of Lake Ontario. The waters around PEC are perfect for a peaceful yet exhilarating day out. You’ll get a great perspective of the shoreline, passing by quiet coves and maybe even spotting some local wildlife.
Hiking at Sandbanks Provincial Park
If you love hiking, Sandbanks Provincial Park is a must-see. Famous for its towering sand dunes and pristine beaches, the park offers a variety of trails ranging from easy strolls to more challenging hikes. The Dunes Trail is a fan favorite, offering sweeping views of the dunes and Lake Ontario.

This 46-kilometer multi-use trail runs through the heart of PEC, offering beautiful views of vineyards, wetlands, and quaint towns along the way. It’s the perfect ride for cyclists of all levels, with plenty of spots to stop for a break or a photo-op.
Beach Day at North Beach Provincial Park
When you think of outdoor adventures, lounging on a sandy beach might not immediately come to mind, but it’s an essential part of the PEC experience. North Beach Provincial Park is a quieter alternative to Sandbanks, offering miles of sandy shoreline and warm, shallow waters. It’s ideal for a day of swimming, picnicking, and simply soaking up the sun. And when the day winds down, head back to your rental cottage for a home-cooked meal on the outdoor grill, followed by s’mores around the firepit.
Fishing at Black River
If you’re into fishing, PEC has some of the best spots for casting a line. Black River, in particular, is a local favorite known for its variety of fish, including bass and walleye. Spend a peaceful morning on the river, enjoying the beauty of nature and, hopefully, catching dinner.
