The outlets beach is the most popular, with it's expansive, two-kilometre-long shoreline, soft, white sand and rolling waves, thousands flock here each summer. 750,000 of them, in fact. A day-use-only beach, you're required to book your visit in advance to guarantee entry, but it's worth it. There's a restaurant on site and many washrooms and changing rooms nearby. Plenty of parking but get there early for a good spot.

Sandbanks Provincial Park is an amazing spot for a picnic, a relaxing day at the beach, and swimming. The beach is entirely sandy with no rocks, making it ideal and comfortable for swimming. To enter the park, you’ll need to reserve or register in advance. The park is well-equipped with change rooms, bathrooms, and plenty of parking. There’s also lots of space to sit and relax near the water, whether you’re sunbathing, snacking, or just taking in the view. A perfect getaway for a summer day!

So beautiful. The camp sites are nice. Happy to hear the comfort station is getting an upgrade. Though I’ll doubt they will change the footprint, more stalls are needed. The bathroom is always busy with its proximity to the beach and all the camp sites. The sunsets are gorgeous. We always have a wonderful time here. Highly recommend!

A stunning provincial park. The park itself is quite big. They have two park stores, a few trails and lots of beach space. We only stayed for a day but the campsites looked nice as well. Lots of friendly staff and endless beaches to explore.

Had a beautiful day at Sandbanks today. Made some great memories with family. Playing in the sand and in the water. The water was fantastic! Loads of parking and space on the beach. Highly recommend it if you haven't been.

This was a wow experience, Desert in Ontario and I really mean it, miles of desert around, I went early morning like 9.30 AM, ensure to reserve a day pass from Canada Parks website, the beaches have basic facilities- clean washroom and changing rooms, lot of benches etc, and parking is near to the beaches.

Today was a wonderful day at the Dunes Beach!! Blue sky, clear water, not too busy for a summer Friday, and a positively awesome experience. We have been to Outleat and Lakeshore Beaches in previous years, and even then, this park does not disappoint! Waves can be fun, but wind gusts were only up to 15km/h instead of 40km/h, which made it suitable for paddleboarding on the water. It's about 500 meters from Dunes Trail parking to the shore. However, paddling on the shore is much easier for finding beach space than treading on the deep, hot sand anyway! The beach is so nice and clean despite all the negative fishy news circulating on social media. Be ready for sand, lots of it! We are planning for more trips this summer!

What a beautiful long beach with washrooms and plenty of parking and seagulls and security guards. But there is a lot of green sludge as you enter the lake water which is pretty gross but does not seem to deter anyone else from swimming lol

Fantastic beach ! Super clear water and super clean beach. Soany great memories and great for the family

A beautiful beach for sunset watching. Of the three beaches in Sandbanks this was the most popular and busiest. They have a shop and a lovely restaurant and grill near by. Some decent parking and a few change rooms. Good place if you want a busy beach experience.

Clean, spacious beach situated between toronto and montreal. Day parking costs 21$ per car, need to book the parking pass in advance. There are food options available near beach, but nothing on the beach itself. Water is shallow and nice for kids.

The outlet beach is a great beach for families including young children as the water doesn't get deep for a while.

It’s a beautiful beach. But 🙃 I visited the beach with my dog so we went to the dog area which is very beautiful, but unfortunately dogs has to be on leash. It doesn’t make any sense to take the dogs there if they can’t be off leash I found it abuse so we didn’t stay long. The washroom is very far and also the restaurant. I wish they would rent umbrellas with beach chair. Overall it’s a beautiful beach to visit with friends and family

Very calm and clean beach. $21 for one day pass is too high.

This is a great little beach. Plenty of spots to swim with the backdrop of the dunes. There is a comfort station, a canteen, a kids play ground and plenty of parking. Great for a day trip - this is the only sandbanks beach that’s open to the public without a park pass. There is a great trail that brings you from the surrounding campgrounds, if you are staying at the park. The dunes are really quite a highlight and very interesting to explore. Really, a natural wonder and a great beach if you have kids. Mostly because the water is very shallow and warm and there is just lots of room for them to explore and play. Catch some great views of Lake Ontario and West Lake

The Dunes are very cool! Lots of places to walk, explore and take some great photos. I'm not too sure about swimming in that body of water, as it has some mossy areas and foam. It also has a pretty quick and steep drop off, from shallow to deep. They warn everyone about that quite frequently with signage and it's pretty obvious when you look in the water. Washrooms were pretty clean, considering the amount of people visiting. You have to check out the Dunes if you are in the area. Out of the 3 main beaches, its Lakeshore #1, The Outlet #2 and The Dunes #3 for me. 👍🏾

Sandbanks Provincial Park exceeded my expectations. The sand dunes are absolutely beautiful and brought back memories of the beaches back home in New England. The combination of soft sand, clear water, and natural beauty makes this a must-visit spot. I do think being here in the shoulder season made it extra special. I’m sure it’s a very different experience in the summer.

Sandbanks dunes is a beautiful place. It's quiet, peaceful and you can hear the birds singing. The trail leads through a forest full of beautiful nature. The view from the dunes is stunning.

Stopped by Sand Dunes beach today. The weather was beautiful and the water was lovely. The beach isn't as nice as the other Sandbanks Provincial Park beaches. It was muckier and not as much room.

Beginning of the season was chilly. Be careful with children and non-swimmers since no lifeguard is present. Warnings included a sudden drop in water depth. Includes several boardwalks as part of the Dunes Trail (which is majority sandy), a play structure for kids and washroom facilities.

Such a beautiful beach! I had a great time there and would definitely love to go again. Highly recommend visiting.

What a crazy find. This place is just south of Picton with nothing around it but farms and nature. Add to it a building that sits atop a hill with large windows facing west for some killer sunset views. The outdoor seating area is also spectacular. I had the Super Sunset Pale Ale and even took a few home. An excellent beer! Also the fellows at the food stand inside near the bar were very friendly. And they make a pretty damn good Quesadilla! Truelly this place is like nothing I've ever been to in Canada, very unique! I highly recommend coming out here.

This spot is amazing! Located on a hill top the view is stunning! There's plenty of places outside and even inside with a complete window wall. Beers were really good and the orange wine was perfect. Couple of games outside and kids friendly. Lovely ❤️

🍺 New favourite spot! Just discovered this gem and I’m impressed — great beer, super friendly staff, delicious tacos, and an amazing view. Perfect place to relax and enjoy a local brew. I’ll definitely be back! 🍻

We're so happy someone recommended this brewery to us! After a day of wine tasting, this was just the vibe we needed to end the day! The view is stunning, the beer was great with lots to choose from, and the tacos were perfect!

What a gem! Nestled atop a limestone hill on a working farm, Slake Brewing offers striking panoramic views of Prince Edward County—especially amazing at sunset . The modern taproom and spacious patio—complete with fire pits and lawn games—create a relaxed, welcoming vibe, perfect for gathering with friends (or even furry pals!)

The service was great, very hospitable and welcoming. We got to try a little of everything before making a decision which is always nice. The beers are top notch and the atmosphere is very chill, no pressure to leave or order quickly. Great beer selection and amazing staff, will be back next year ⭐️

Brilliant brewery tucked away on a hill in the country side. Never had so many clean drinking beers in my life, enjoyed just about everyone we tried. The prices are a little on the high side but the quality is there and so is the venue. Tons of seating inside and out, lots to do in thd adjacent field for kids or older parties alike. Would definitely recommend hitting them up for sunset as if your lucky for the weather, the view is worth the price and more. A hidden gem of a brewery.

Wines were alright. Highly recommend trying the balsamic wine vinegar and wood fired pizzas. Had the vinegar with their Americiana Pizza and their Aloha Pizza (both had perfect, wood fired crusts).

Absolutely love their vinegars, free tasting and they make the best dressings. Come all the way from Toronto to buy them. We didn’t try their wines this time. Dog friendly patio area.

I’ve been several times now and purchase both wine and their amazing vinegars. It’s my go to place to bring family and friends when visiting PEC. Friendly unpretentious servers with a wealth of knowledge. Wood fired pizza and disc golf available. Lots of seating.

Such a wonderful experience. We tasted the wines and vinegars I have to say. The wines are really good but the vinegars are over the top. Marty and I bought wine and vinegar. Then we had a wonderful fire wood meat lovers pizza. Absolutely delicious. A must place to visit.

The place is quite cute, and they offer a wide variety of pizzas. The pizzas are wood-fired, and there’s even a vineyard behind the restaurant. The staff in the wine area are really friendly. They also have a nice combo — one pizza and one glass of wine for a reasonable price. The pizza takes about 10 minutes to come out. Everything was great. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in PEC.

Two friends and I visited the Black Prince Winery today and had a great experience! We had the pleasure of being served by Evan for our Wine tasting and he made it so fun! He was knowledgeable in the wines and a great conversationalist! We would definitely come back based on our experience today!

We had a small “surprise” wedding at Black Prince. The staff were exceptional at helping us pull it off without a hitch and were incredibly kind & friendly. The wine, vinegar tastings and food were divine! We can’t thank them enough for helping us celebrate our day. 💛 ~Steve & Leslie

Cute bookstore with a wide selection of puzzles, games, knickknacks, cards, gifts, and books. Great place to drop by if you're looking for a board game or puzzle to play at the cottage or a local postcard. The book selection itself was a little lacking.

A great spot! I’m particularly pleased with the sale books section and their adorable cat. A very solid selection of books and literary trinkets.

Spacious and charming bookstore with a vast selection of books, games, and gifts. I particularly liked the "In Translation" section. There is also a café next door. And of course, the adorable cat Pushkin was very friendly and docile!

Great selection of books, I especially love the nature, outdoors and field guide section. And we got to meet the lovely little Pushkin who was so fluffy, patient, and very sweet.

I love an independent bookstore, and this one is fantastic. They have a nice variety of books, games, cards, and gifts. It appears they seek out high-quality and unique product lines for their store. If you are looking for a special gift for a child or a little inspiration for yourself,,this store would be a great place to go. Nice staff too.

What a lovely book store! Books, games, puzzles, toys and more! We picked up some hilarious greeting cards and couldn't resist this life sized rag doll cat puppet from Folkmanis Puppets.

Great selection of kids books, toys, and puzzles. Wonderful staff. Every time we are in town, the trip to this store is at the top of my list to catch up on all the books I wanted to buy (and new discoveries to make). Thank you for this wonderful store.

We came here on Victoria Day, and were quickly seated on the patio. The service was good but the food was just okay. Ordered the full nachos, the serving size was very small and it was served a bit cold. We also ordered the brisket sandwich and the mac and cheese. Unfortunately, the brisket was salty for my taste, and the mac and cheese was bland.

We tried their burgers and Nachos! Burgers were great, fries were fresh, nachos could have been better! Good place to visit for a heavy meal:) service was great - anything we asked for was accommodated with a smile, I loved that part:) will revisit to try more of their menu:)

Right in the heart of Picton. Excellent seating. Inside seems like a good atmosphere but we sat in the little indoor/outdoor area, I don't know what to call it but it was a great space outside but completely covered with heaters set up if it did get a little cool. They also have a few sidewalk patio seats which is nice. Service was fine. Very good drink selection. We had the nachos and they were excellent. We got them with the braised beef and would choose something else next time as it just wasn't for us but worth a try. The Cubano Rolls were a favorite. A completely different flavor for us and were a very nice surprise. We also shared the county Philly and although the bread was delicious, it did fall apart very easily with the mess of a sandwich so was just a messy eat but still delicious. We absolutely loved the herb blend on the fries and dipped them in garlic aioli which was amazing. We will definitely be back.

There are different activities almost every day of the week. So there should good ambiance most of the time. The food is good. They are very generous with their ribs. You won't walk out of there hungry after eating that. The service is friendly and efficient. We sat at the bar and had a very good time. Great place to be at if you pass info by the area. The prices are also very reasonable. Cheers to the staff!

The County Canteen catered our wedding on July 16, 2022 at Cherryvale Weddings. We were primarily in contact with Scott Gregor, the owner of the restaurant. Scott and his team went above and beyond and we were so thankful for all they did to make our day so special. First off, the food was absolutely incredible. At our tasting before the wedding, Scott introduced us to many items on his menu and we were able to choose anything that sounded yummy to us – which was literally everything! Along with this, we told him about a gnocchi dish we both loved from a restaurant where we had one of our first dates. Scott got as much information as he could about this recipe, and recreated it for us so that we could serve it as a side dish for our wedding! It was absolutely perfect. Our guests keep raving about how amazing the food was – especially that gnocchi. Scott has a few different dinner options, and we ended up going with the family style. This meant we were able to have a variety of different options, and our guests did not have to choose what to eat as it was all laid on the table. On the day of our wedding, Scott and his team were so attentive to our guests. During cocktail hour, Scott’s team listened to what each guest really enjoyed, and would continue to deliver more of that item directly to where each group was located. They also set up a hydration station, which had 3 different jugs of fruit-infused waters. During dinner, they continued to make sure our guests were comfortable and were well-fed. One of our friends who is celiac and is very careful about what she eats, had a question about the wine being gluten free. One of the waiters heard this question and took it extremely seriously, contacting the winery right away so that our friend felt safe having some table wine. In addition to this, she felt very comfortable with the food, as she really appreciated being plated separately and did not have to worry about cross-contamination. Another guest of ours had another major allergy, as she cannot consume any cow-protein. She asked a question to one of the waiters, and immediately they knew who she was. Scott personally went over to talk with her and also plated her separately so that she could eat safely and comfortably. Everyone who witnessed these two experiences were thoroughly impressed by the thought, care and cautiousness that was put into this. Overall, the County Canteen made every transition so smooth and everyone was so organized. Every time an announcement was made, the team was ready to go. We had so many people checking in with us and our guests throughout the entire day to ensure we were staying hydrated and were eating well. We highly recommend the County Canteen!

We visited the County Canteen for dinner last night. It's a popular place and was a full house when we arrived at 7pm. You can't make reservations but they put us on a waiting list and called an hour later to say our table was ready. The service was great - Candace was our server and she was attentive, helpful and friendly. The fish tacos were quite possibly the best I've ever tasted. They were plentiful and the fish was delicious! My husband loved his chicken burger and local craft beer. The live entertainment was great too. I can't remember the entertainer's name but he was very talented on the piano and we enjoyed a good sing along!

So glad we went in!!! We go to Picton often and we walk by this place a fair bit and the smell drew is in like that floating bit you see in cartoons!!😂😂 A nice quaint cottage like looking atmosphere. Greeted right away by Chris who was our host and server for our experience and was just awesome 😎 Super nice guy, knew his stuff, definitely added to the whole thing in a great way. The food was superb!! We got the Reuben eggrolls which blew us away!! Who'd have thought this would work!!! Totally did, flavour flavour flavour!!! Crispy and you got the whole shebang of a Reuben in it!! We ordered the Gnocchi with kale and goat cheese and the full rack of ribs with slaw and fries. Everything was done to perfection!!! Tasteful overdrive! Nothing was dry, nothing overdone or tacky. The coleslaw was unlike any other I've had! I love coleslaw and this one topped it!! It was a red wine or sherry vinegar base with it and fresh pepper. Not sure but it's one of the best I've had. The fries sprinkled with thyme allowed them to pop with flavour though on their own they were great!! The ribs weren't over sauced or dry, pull apart goodness and the right amount of smokiness to them. The gnocchi with the goat cheese was melting in your mouth good!! A beautiful concoction of flavours that played off each other that left no disdain of an aftertaste which strong flavours can sometimes do. This place is a great location you have to stop by and try!! We're definitely going back!!!!

10 stars out of 5! The most deliciously fresh, melt in your mouth sushi you could ever hope to have. Highly recommend! Very nice, clean and welcoming layout. The owner clearly takes great pride and rightly so, she is most wonderful and the kindest lady we've ever met!

Was looking for an Asian restaurant in the town and found this gem! Loved the vibe inside and the owner was very kind and sweet. We ordered two different sushi and a spicy beef udon with kimchi on the side. All the menus were super tasty and extra fresh. Highly recommend! Will 100% revisit when we are back in PEC ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🏻

Fast and fresh. Very very tasty and friendly staff. Little pricey but a nice treat!

An adorable and hidden gem! Was craving Japanese food and this place was perfect. She was super friendly and accommodating. The place itself is decorated thoughtfully and well-looked after, with a fun variety of drinks and snacks / ingredients / cutlery and other miscellaneous items for sale. I had their bento box - super filling and fresh - the sweet potato noodles especially did not disappoint. So delicious and I’ll definitely come again when I’m back in Prince Edward County!

We love Dive In Charm!! The food is always fresh and everything is delicious! Placing an order is easy and when we go in to pick-up, we are always greeted with a big smile and are made to feel welcome. If you're in the County and looking for great sushi, I highly recommend checking out Dive In Charm. (I can never get a photo of everything because we end up eating half of our meal on the way home 🤣)

The avocado rolls are very generous in terms of the amount of avocado. Very friendly service, too. Great little takeout place.

Absolutely loved it! Delicious food, beautiful presentation, and lovely staff! We had the DELICIOUS miso soup, with a spicy salmon roll, a Dynamite Roll, and the Deep Fried California roll. Every bite was better then the last! 100% recommend!

Had breakfast at Bailey’s and it was pretty decent. It’s a super casual diner – nothing fancy, but a good spot if you want something quick and filling. The food was your typical diner breakfast – eggs, sausage, home fries, toast, and eggs Benny. Nothing over the top, but it tasted good and did the job. Prices are fair, and it’s nice that they open early at 6:30 AM if you’re up and about early. Service was alright – not amazing, but not bad either. Overall, just a chill place to grab a basic breakfast if you’re in the area.

If your looking for a good bacon and egg breakfast, this is a place to go. We passed through Picton on our trip through southern Ontario and this was a recommended google spot. We missed pancakes and waffles all day breakfast on Sundays by one day. Good food, no frills, good value. And Marianne is great!

Popped in for a quick lunch after camping at sandbanks. Fast service and big portions. Staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. They had a cute play area set up for kids.

Very good. Waitress was friendly. Food was tasty. Slightly costly.

I ordered the 1/2 portion eggs Benedict - very happy they have this option on the menu. They also offer you the choice of bacon, sausage or pemeal. I chose bacon. When my food arrived I was very disappointed to find one slice of bacon. I didn't feel I got value for money. The food was delicious.

We were passing through and noticed this place was busy for a Thursday, so we backtracked to try it out. Amelia, our server, was attentive and polite. The food was very good, and my eggs were cooked perfectly. We would definitely recommend this place.

Great spot for breakfast! Affordable and delicious. Pancakes are fluffy and perfectly cooked and eggs were also cooked to order. Coffee is also good and tasty. We recommend! The terrasse is very enjoyable. I do recommend some wasp traps and one lone wasp was flying around but left quickly.

Had dinner there last night as a group of 4. What a great place to eat. First, their service was excellent our server friendly, attentive, and very lovely. Cocktails fantastic. The wine selection was small but very lovely local and other wines. We had of course the Chickpea fries, what am I telling you, amazing. They are that good that we ordered two orders. We also had the pork belly -Tuna, and Crab cakes. All excellent. As a main, we had the steak, the lamb, and the vegetarian dish and I would rank it as excellent and very enjoyable. Desert creme brûlée and Strawberry Rhubarb cake. Again, excellent and tasty. So overall, a wonderful dining experience, very friendly staff, lovely environment and all of that for a reasonable price. We all highly recommend Blumen.

From making the reservations to the meal itself the experience at Blumen's was fantastic. Our first anniversary was made perfect by the fantastic meal at Blumen's. All items on the menu made our mouth water and sounded delicious, it made for a very difficult choice on selecting what to have. Staff were extremely helpful in selecting beverages, and giving insight to meal selections. The venue itself was intimate and cozy, we were seated on the back deck which was a very cozy spot to enjoy the meal. Starters for the evening included tartare and stuffed squid. After hemming about the mains we settled on the lamb and duck, and we were not disappointed at all. Each bite was full of rich flavours that we attempted to savour for as long as we could. Finishing the meal was the creme brule which was the perfect end to the evening. Reasonably priced for an excellent meal, it made perfect sense as well to get a round for the kitchen, (great option on the menu!). Overall a restaurant we will be returning to again.

A great option for fine dining in the country. We were there wore thanksgiving as a three generation family. Our table loved the rabbit gnocchi. The grouper was also a hit. Would definitely be back.

This was my favourite place in Picton! The service was outstanding and the food was out of this world. The price was really reasonable considering the food quality and the presentation. My husband and I shared every appetizer on the menu as a main meal ! We had our server pair a few wines from PEC. The whole experience was mesmerizing.

Superb cuisine! Each item on the menu is a excellent! Such an array of different flavours on each plate! Highly recommend 😊👍

The food was fantastic, compliments to the chef! I ordered a special not typically on the menu, pork tenderloin cooked per chef's recommendation with green beans, spaetzele with a buttery bourginion, and kholrabi coleslaw. Everything was excellent. Booking here can be difficult, it seems to be a very popular spot so give yourself time to get a spot and book a few days in advance.

This restaurant is one of the best in town (but in through there are many), great service, amazing food, and they are always willing to welcome a larger group. Definitely consider this a must visit location.

The place is very beautiful to look and completely instagramable. Good place with cozy vibes but food and drink wise I think it is expensive and quantity of food is quiet less. I see the attraction it has. We had passed it on the way and it was so attractive that we changed out route while driving back so that we could stop here. So maybe a one time experience for sure.

Great wait staff and ambiance. This was our second visit in the evening and it feels magical with the soft patio lights. Definitely a family and dog friendly spot. The brew we chose was pricier than most we had in the County

I would have visited here every weekend if it were close to Toronto. The food was perfect - I literally smiled at my first bite of the burger, and the beers were so good that we ended up buying a few bottles at the shop. Very friendly staff and a nice ambiance, with the firepit to keep you warm. We ended up going here because the other restaurant we originally planned to try was full, but this turned out to be the luckiest thing that happened to us during our trip to Prince Edward County.

Bring your kids and enjoy a bear or two Large selection of bears, a lots of seating areas. Cool play structure for kids with balls and other outdoor game. Perfect for families

Food was amazing. Must try their flights! There are so many fun stuffs outside as well so nice to hang out with family and friends!!

Great beers specially the Mango Lassi beer which was very unique and fruity. The atmosphere is amazing and there is lots of games to play for the kids as well. highly recommended

We had such a great time at Parsons Brewery! 🍻 The beer selection was fantastic — we tried the Mango Lassi beer (yes, you read that right!) and it was surprisingly delicious. We also ordered tacos and empanadas, both super tasty, and the smash burger was absolutely amazing. The place has a great ambience, perfect for hanging out with friends or family, and there are lots of nice spots for pictures around the property too. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Picton!

Beautiful cafe in downtown Picton. The coffee and London Fog were really nice and plus, the owner is very handsome and gave us some great winery recommendations. 🤪 We were visiting the area and ended up coming to this coffee shop every day while there.

Great stop to have a coffee and pastry. Try the apple butterscotch Danish! The best part? Lots of seating and a kids area!!! Great for you to enjoy while the toddler can play, read some books and relax.

Good strong coffee and food options. Had the bagel with vegan "egg". Nice vibe, and clearly popular with the locals.

Best coffee in Prince Edward County! The shop is super cute and cozy, the staff is incredibly friendly, they have lots of seating, and the coffee is delicious. They also have a great selection of baked goods and cakes, and offer plenty of options for breakfast and lunch. A great spot to visit while in Picton.

My girls and I had a bachelorette weekend and for our last day (Sunday) we decided to stroll around before heading home. After brunch we wanted coffee to bring for the road and decided to support local since the inside of the store looked nice. This was around 2pm and one of my girl’s order had been made incorrectly by your male staff. (Sorry not sorry, the way he acted was not something a barista should do and I take pride in my history as a barista and never in my 5 years did I and would I act the way he did to a customer so I will not be calling him that since he does not deserve it) My girl had explained to him what her order was and he had ASSUMED that she wanted an iced drink and when she reiterated that she never said she asked for a cold drink, your male staff started giving her attitude and CHUCKED the coffee grounds at my girls direction. Some grounds hit her btw but she did not say anything, even to us, until we had left your establishment. If you cannot admit and take accountability for a mistake you made, the least that you can do is ask someone else to do it for you and not lash out at your customers. It was a very unprofessional behaviour coming from a local shop that we decided to support as visitors to your county. This place might be nice to its locals since it’s got a high rating but unfortunately not very kind to visitors. I hope you train your staff better so that nobody else will have to experience that kind of disrespect my girl experienced. He was lucky we are very civilized people and not some Karen who would’ve made a scene right then and there. Very disappointing and will not recommend this shop to my followers and circle of friends.

Super cute coffee x bike repair shop! Food and drinks are really great (esp recommend the breakfast sandwich and the brownie) and there is a lot of seating. Awesome vibes and cute decor, too! There’s also a little kiddie play area (which I’ve never seen at a coffee shop before)! Looking forward to coming back next time I’m in the area :)

Loved the Tuna Gouda Meld on rye bread 🍞. Highly recommend it. We also had the Smoked Salmon on rye and it was delicious. There's some seating for maybe a dozen people between front and back of the shop. We loved the kids area play pen. Great for visits with kids for parents. We weren't on bikes but saw that the back area has a bike repair shop. Could be good for bike tour shop pivot points for bike adventures thru PEC. I'd recommend checking it out on your visit!!

Lovely refurbished historic theater. Too bad the old 'ticket window' was closed during covid and never reopened. Staff was incredible. No hassle pre-booked entry. Really enjoyed the snack bar, we got popcorn and drinks. Seating was comfortable but not having cup holders does make it somewhat awkward. Screen size has been kept small, perhaps the original size when it was adapted to see motion pictures? Wish I could say the movie was as good. I would say the worst Superman movie of them all.

We attended the show called "a perfectly reasonable night of comedy". The participants were definitely experienced in the craft of comedy. My partner and I felt that the performers were not prepared well-enough and that there were actually awkward moments between them. It was difficult to hear each performer at times because they were all talking at once. The podcast idea was a great one, although the execution was a little awkward. It would be great to see Carolyn and the rest of the Baroness von Sketch team in the future.

It was my 1st time attending the Regent Theatre, it's a beautiful old building, & I loved the workmanship of the ceiling. I went to see Roy LeBlanc, a tribute artist performing songs by Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, & Elvis Presley. I thoroughly enjoyed the show!!!

Great movie. Comfortable seats. Reasonable prices.

I went to The Regent Theatre last night, for my first time, and I saw Roy LeBlanc, the tribute artist performing songs from Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, & Elvis Presley. Both the show & the venue were amazing!!!

Small theatre with amazing character. Great place to take in a show in the heart of PEC.

Great show! Nice comfortable seats, lots of leg room. (I'm 6'2") good acoustics.

When it was first built no doubt the view was amazing but 20 plus years later the trees have grown and the view is mostly blocked. No picnic tables, no toilet. Just an open space

It is a lovely spot with a great view. But unfortunately, there isn't one tree for shade. It is extremely hot in our climate now. Would have been lovely to sit on a bench and enjoy the view in some shade but there was none.So this is really just a quick stop on your way to somewhere better

Interesting spot to read about the history of the surrounding area. Unfortunately, in the summer the shrubs and trees block your view completely. Might be better to visit before the leaves start to grow. Would be nice if they were to build a look out tower to climb up.

At some point this would've been a fantastic look out but unfortunately the tree growth has blocked most of the views. Funny (but also sad) you can see well is the Giant Tiger sign. There is a small display that is set up to provide background on the Prince Edward County area. It has an unpaved and small parking lot but is a short walk along a paved path to the look out point and plaques.

The tall trees cover the lookout view, so there is hardly anything to see. On the way to the lookout, there are some other spots from where you can get a better view.

Place is not high enough to serve as a look out, but if you really can’t find anything better to do. Give a try. Down hill there is an old church and historic house worth to take a look open at 1:00 PM

Nice spot but you can't really see much. Too many trees in the way and you have to stand up on the rocks to get even a small view !! Need to trim the trees !!!!

When I planned to visit birdhouse city I did not expect it be so badly maintained . The bird houses are very cute and I would have enjoyed the place a bit more if some effort had been put to cut the grass and remove the weeds at least. It looks a bit eerie and unkept. If that was the vibe they were going for then good job. I saw small snake as well on the way up. So please be careful.

This place is way beyond my expectations. It is super cute, and i feel like recommending this place to Amazong Race Canada, as hunting for Massassauga Park Hotel was a fun task!🤭

The amazing Birdhouse City is a miniature community of whimsical hand-crafted birdhouses depicting the unique character, culture, and history of Prince Edward County. Each birdhouse rests high on its own platform and pole and provides a safe place for birds to nest in. Located at the Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area just outside of Picton, the City offers a one-of-a-kind, outdoor experience for people of all ages. I especially loved the Mustang Drive-In which is playing “The Birds” by Alfred Hitchcock! Paths are cut into the grass and the houses are about 12’ high. A tiny bit buggy. It is managed by volunteers in partnership with Quinte Conservation. Allow a minimum of 20 minutes for your visit. The site is a couple acres. It is said there are over 100 charming birdhouses! Parking (paid) is available on site, but I recommend a visit to the Macaulay Heritage park first. You can find the tombstone of William Pierce - Died Feb 31st !? And see the magnificent Georgian house. There is a FREE parking lot on the right of the house. Behind the small barn is a path through the forest which will lead you to Birdhouse City in under 15. It is extremely well-maintained and has benches. You can extend your visit to include a hike. Make sure you include this stop on your visit to PEC!

Fun little diversion. The path isn’t clearly marked so we walk the same areas a couple times. Very interesting place.

Super cute place to walk around. The tick notice scares people but the area is mowed so it's not too dangerous if you stay out of the tall grass. I hope the parking fees go to the upkeep of the birdhouses as they are very pricey for the area. Nice area to walk around.

Hands down one of my favourite parts of my trip to Prince Edward County. It is an approximate 5 minute drive from Downtown Picton. The hand-crafted birdhouses are all adorable and I appreciated how they paid homage to Prince Edward County. The birdhouses are situated on a well maintained grassy hill. While there were other people walking through, it is a large enough walking path that you can pass people easily. It's fun walking through and hearing all of the birds communicating with each other. It's evident how much passion the volunteers have for maintaining the area. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area!

Bird House City is a great adventure out for a datebor family day. There is a beautiful conversation area for a nature walk, picnic or just a break from it all. There is parking available Dog friendly area

Very scenic and enjoyable ! The Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area sports around 20 square acres of forest and trail. Its very easy to navigate as there is a clear path through it. There are several "resting spots" with benches . Strongly recommend a visit, and its right beside town!

This was such a beautiful place with several trails to hike. The main trail took us about an hour and a half to complete and it was fairly easy. You do have to watch out for a steep hill you need to go up at the beginning but after that, you’ll come across such beautiful forests. Parking is $5 paid online and when we went, there weren’t that many people. Perfect place to go on a peaceful hike.

What a beautiful spot! Very picturesque. It has plenty of varieties of trees (hemlock, black walnut, etc.) and foliage along the different trails, some of which are flat, and some which go up the mountain. It is well groomed with an area along some water as well. This area has ticks so make sure you check yourself and your pets when leaving. 👍

Went for a hike here. Super pretty. I’m not sure which trail I did, but I don’t think it was marked. Sorry, I went with friends who know the trails. It was gorg. Terrain was moderate with inclines and declines that were a little sketch with the ice. Kid wasn’t afraid, but was sliding around. Dog loved it. Great winter hike. Will go back.

Wow! Totally beat all our expectations. We didn't manage to do all of the trails, but the ones we did were incredible, especially the yellow trail. For us, this was an even better park than Sandbanks, overall.

Beautiful trails. Maps a bit confusing but other than that it was a tremendous experience. Wish we had had time to go for longer walks and experience more of the park.

This is a tiny location to visit, but it has a great cafe with a view, and one or two nice old buildings to photograph. The cafe patio has a view overlooking the river below: quite a panorama...probably makes it worth a quick stop. There are a few historic plaques to read nearby.

AMAZING!!! Great little spot for a family dinner. All items on the menu were excellent and the prices more than reasonable and very large portions. One of the best pizzas I've had, I highly recommend it. If you're in the Picton area, a must stop!

Excellent Service✨ Great Food⭐ Always a good meal.😁

Hit and miss. Enjoyed their pizza, Greek chicken, children's fish and chips, but the baked lasagna was disgusting with no flavor (needs some serious love and should be sold as is).

My mom ordered liver and bacon but when she came home her daughter opened it and started eating the liver and she turned it over and it was green and it isn't suppose to be green now my daughter is in the washroom getting sick.

Cozy environment but the quality of food was super disappointing. Not local but stopped in after overhearing a conversation on the street that the food was surprisingly good so figured we’d give it a try. We were feeling burgers so that’s what my family went with. Unfortunately they were frozen burgers with stale buns. The prices were super cheap so I’m not sure why we expected the quality to be better 😂 half of our fries were cold and pure grease, the other half were hot but overcooked and hard. The cups were also extra greasy but the lady who gave us our food was super pleasant to deal with so there was some positive. Unfortunately though we won’t be returning and that’s a shame because we love to support the smaller guys 😣

Stopped by here yesterday for breakfast. I was a little concerned with a couple of the poor reviews. BUT we were welcomed very nicely. Poached eggs, sausage and bacon, coffee good for me. Server was very attentive and pleasant. We will definitely be going back, next time I might try lunch. Good basic food, may not be for everyone but was good for my wife and I. Good value for the money.

Friendly local diner in Picton. A bit of everything on the menu: breakfast, burgers, Greek AND pizza. Uploading the menu because it doesn't seem to be online anywhere!

Amazing cocktails and gives a speakeasy atmosphere. If you wanna feel like a mob boss definitely come here. Great staff and service, not for a huge crowd of friends but for the best couple of buddies for sure. Highly recommended 🥃

Got the “fried green tomato” drink and was blown away. So refreshing and tasteful .. bold but light at the same time. Paired with the Moroccan nuts and the cute intimate vibe, it’s the perfect start to a night!

Russ & Co. is an absolute gem in Picton! We went twice just this weekend because we couldn’t get enough. We tried three different cocktails — all completely unique, bold, and beautifully crafted. You can really tell how much thought goes into each drink. The staff is amazing, super attentive, and will happily recommend the perfect cocktail based on what you’re in the mood for. The décor is stunning, the vibe is cozy yet chic, and even the bathroom is beautiful (totally selfie-worthy!). We can’t recommend this bar enough.

Such a great vibe! A very quaint spot ! Bartender gave us great drink recommendation! Even created off menu drinks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Russ & Co. is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of trying the Molly Malone, and I can honestly say it’s the best drink I’ve ever had. Perfectly crafted, balanced, and unforgettable. On top of that, the staff went above and beyond during our visit. Not only were they attentive and welcoming, but they also shared some fantastic local restaurant recommendations, which made our trip even more special. My wife and I were celebrating our 10-year anniversary, and thanks to the incredible drinks, atmosphere, and hospitality, it’s a memory we’ll treasure. Highly recommend Russ & Co. to anyone looking for top-notch cocktails and service!

We recently spent some time in the County for our honeymoon. We were told by staff from other establishments that the Russ & Co. was a must go. Glad we went. Great service and drinks! We'll make sure to visit here every time we're in Picton.

Based on a local recommendation tried the Fried Green Tomato Cocktail and was absolutely blown away. It had me coming back for more, I physically could not put it down. Savoury, but so refreshing and satisfying. Atmosphere was perfect and bar staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. 100% worth the visit.

Pie Guy’s Pizzeria at PEC is a wonderful spot run by elderly owners who provide truly great service. Their friendly and welcoming approach makes every order feel special. The food quality is excellent, with fresh ingredients and tasty options like their famous wings, meat pies, and pizzas that arrive hot and satisfying. Customers appreciate their reliability and the personal touch, especially for late-night delivery in Picton.

Pizza was very pricey ( three medium for $80)and just okay. Some in our party found the pizza inedible. When we called we were told thin crust but it feels heavier . Folks in our party suggested it tasted uncooked. Maybe because there was a lot of cheese and sauce. The previous positive reviews were not experienced by our group. I have eaten a lot of pizza in NY, Italy, Montreal and Toronto. The pizza is not at that hype. Also, there is no formal receipt. The server indicated the price and gave me the credit card receipt (no break down of the pizza prices or the tax). This feels odd. We waited a bit longer for the pizza and there is no waiting area. You have to wait outside or in your car.

The jerk chicken on the pizza we had was fantastic. It had a good amount of spice to it. There was more cheese on the pizza than I would have liked, but I know some people would really like it. The chicken wings were also quite good, and the Caesar salad was nice and fresh.

Walked in and tried to order and was told I could not order because he had 8 orders in total. I have Cooke my entire life I have never heard of anything like that! 9:44 on a Friday night! Def can’t say the county’s choice for late night pizza when you can’t get one at a quarter to 10! Try your luck I guess

The pizza fresh ingredients could use little more spice flavors 😋. The price was expensive for the pizza slice and server said cause Prince Edward County that prices higher . The crust reminds me of a flat bread type .

We are Toronto-nians who own a vacation property near Picton in Prince Edward County. Being foodies from the city, we didn’t expect to find much locally in terms of gourmet pizza. Pie Guy’s was an awesome and unexpected surprise! Hands-down this is the BEST pizza and pasta joint in town. Awesome pizzas, homemade wings and Cesar salad to rival any steakhouse; all made with real ingredients and prepared on-par or better than the best joints in Toronto. Super friendly service can be expected very time! PS don’t come to this place if your worried about your waste line but definitely come if you want awesome food!

By far the best pizza in the county! The food is fantastic and the service is excellent. The man who runs it is always so friendly and kind. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Harbour Inn where this restaurant is located, and the moment I posted online that I was staying in Picton, EVERYBODY said I need to go here for breakfast. Now, I understand why. The portions were great, my group was satisfied at the end, as was I. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were top shelf, highly recommended.

What an amazing experience! Completely blown away by how delightful our meals were! Lunch was so delicious we went back to have breakfast! While everyone else at my table raved about their meals I personally had the Greek wrap! It was divine! Completely worth it and scrumptious!!! I could absolutely have gone and eaten the entire thing again! The staff are lovely and friendly, the place is clean and professional! It’s a cute and quaint diner with phenomenal food! 10/10 will go again!

Small, quaint restaurant. There was a half hour wait, but it was totally worth it. The service was top notch and the food was great. We had the eggs Benedict and eggs/bacon. The home fries were amazing, they come with onions and mushrooms. The bread and butter were great as well. They have a huge menu with so many selections from breakfast to wraps to burgers and salads. Prices are very reasonable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friendly, family-run local spot with big portions at great value. I had the Classic Breakfast with 3 eggs, 2 farmers sausages, hash browns with mushrooms & onions for $13, and it kept me going all beach day. Our kids loved their Eggs Benny and breakfast poutine. Gets busy, but our 20-min wait was pleasant thanks to the pier seating out back. Highly recommend if you’re staying near Main St. in Picton.

The Lighthouse is our go-to spot for a delicious, family-style brunch in Picton. It’s casual, welcoming, and the customer service is always amazing — so friendly and attentive. You might have to wait a little for a table (don’t forget to add your name to the list!), but it’s absolutely worth it. A perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying meal.

Really cool spot, enjoyed the breakfast quite a bit. The hash browns are done with mushroom and onions - very good! I’d recommend.

We really enjoyed our breakfast here. Food is great and servers are super friendly 👍
