It's a dreamy summer day trip.

Beach days are just around the bend and even if you don't have a car, you can still soak up some fun. This bus takes you from Toronto to a stunning sandy beach with crystal blue water for a dreamy summer day trip.

The two and a half hour road trip leaves from downtown Toronto and ends at a soft sand beach with 10 kilometres of velvety shores.

You can spend the day lounging by the water, splashing in the waves and paddling around the area before hopping on the bus back home.

The bus is operating select days this summer and here's what to know.

Parkbus is offering trips from Toronto to several gorgeous destinations this year. One such place is Pinery Provincial Park in Grand Bend.

The park is known for its gorgeous 10-kilometre sandy beach and sparkling Lake Huron waters.

While at the park, you can head to Old Ausable Channel where you can canoe, paddle and more.

There are 17 kilometres of hiking trails to enjoy, so you'll want to bring some comfy shoes along with you.

The Parkbus trips are scheduled for July 28 and August 4, 2024 and cost $115 per person roundtrip.

The ticket includes your admission to the park and it's recommended that you bring some food along with you.

The bus is scheduled to arrive at the park at 11 a.m. and departs at 4:30 p.m., meaning you'll have lots of time to enjoy the beach, trails and more.

If you're craving a beach day without the driving, this day trip might be worth booking.
