Start your summer off with a splash, as Elora Quarry is now open.

The stunning aquamarine swimming hole is only 1.5-hours from Toronto and is where you'll spend the summer floating your troubles away.

Here you can take a dip surrounded by limestone cliffs and relax on the sandy beach.

This year, it will be open from Monday, June 7, to Monday, September 6, and you'll need to purchase your ticket in advance to enter.
