This natural wonder in Ontario is a magical place for a summer day trip. Featuring massive sand dunes and a stretching beach, this spot will have you feeling like you're in another country.
Sand Hill Park, located in Port Burwell, is home to "Ontario's largest sand pile." These massive Sand Hills tower 350 feet above Lake Erie and are a truly unique sight to take in.
You can enjoy "storybook sunsets" and take a dip in the blue waters while gazing up at the backdrop of these sand mountains. With 2,200 feet of sandy beach, there is tons of space to relax and enjoy the warm weather.
If you're looking for something longer than a day trip, you can book one of the 125 full-service, pull-through campsites. The campsites cost $30 a night per adult and can be booked online.
You can also explore some nature trails or pack a picnic and enjoy lunch with a view during your visit.
Reservations for visits from Wednesday through Sunday can be made by calling the park. There is a daily admission cost of $12 per person.
While visiting, it's important to note the park's safety policies and to stay off the sand cliffs.
