Conservation area with no amenities. AKA bathrooms. There is a long and windy drive in to this lovely rocky beach. Great in the evenings for the sunset.

This is one of the best kept secrets of the region! If you're not fussed about rough edges and fewer amenities - Point Petre is a rugged close to nature experience in a preserved conservation area. Positioned at the southernmost tip of Prince Edward County, the beaches near the Point Petre Wildlife Conservation Area can be difficult to find. It is located near the Point Petre Lighthouse which has been sectioned off for some time. There are no signs marking the entrances to the beach, which is accessed by the narrow lanes off the main road. A 4×4 is advisable and it’s important to know that some lanes are inaccessible to vehicles. The scenery along the long rock beach is, in my opinion, the best of all the Prince Edward County beaches. Beachgoers enjoy finding driftwood washed ashore and exploring the fossils embedded in the rocks. Swimmers love the flat limestone ledges and the waves coming off the lake. Be careful as there are strong currents and an undertow in Lake Ontario which can be dangerous. Come prepared to spend the day as there are no amenities on site. Bring lawn chairs or a blanket for picnicking as no tables are provided. There are fire-pits available for visitor use. Please check if there is a burn ban in effect before having any open flames.

A hidden gem; tricky to get to but very rugged, beautiful and private stony beach
