Here is a quick look at Sandbanks Provincial Park, a fabulous vacation spot just outside of Picton Ontario, a mere hour and half from Toronto. Known for its awesome beaches, the natural sand dunes make for a fabulous backdrop to the beaches and sparkling water of Lake Ontario.

Sandbanks boasts three sandy beaches, Outlet Beach, Sandbanks Beach and Dunes Beach, among the largest and most beautiful beaches in Ontario, with golden sand and sparkling water. Windsurfing, sailing, canoeing and boating compete with sunbathing and swimming as favourite park activities.

Two of the finest bay mouth sandbar and coastal sand dune systems (see example above) in the province can be found here. Sandbanks is also home to an interesting mix of vegetation and wildlife.
