Discover Sandbanks Provincial Park
Sandbanks offers three sandy beaches and a distinctive dune landscape in Prince Edward County. Walking trails introduce visitors to dune and wetland habitats, with bird migration adding interest in spring and fall. Build a visit around the shore, then leave time to explore businesses in Picton and the surrounding county. These are protected landscapes, so follow marked paths and use designated access points.
