It opens on June 11. 🏖️

Staff Writer

Are you dreaming of going on vacation somewhere tropical? Then you'll want to see this stunning Ontario beach next to colossal dunes.

You might do a double-take when you see Sand Hill Park in Port Burwell, as it has sparkling turquoise water and golden sand that look like they belong in the Caribbean.

Located two hours away from Toronto, it makes a fantastic spot to go for a swim on the weekends when you want to escape the crowds.

While here, you can climb to the top of Ontario's largest sandpile, which is 350 feet above the shore of Lake Erie, to marvel at the spectacular lookout.

This year this site is open from Friday, June 11 until Monday, October 11, and tickets are $10 per person.
