Prince Edward County Waterfront
Sandbanks dunes, warm inland lakes and big Lake Ontario shoreline — the County is one of Ontario's most sought-after waterfront and wine-country markets.
Overview
A county wrapped in water
Prince Edward County is an island of shoreline — bays, inland lakes and rivers — anchored by Sandbanks Provincial Park, home to the world's largest baymouth barrier dune and some of Canada's finest sand beaches.
Waterfront marketed as "Sandbanks" usually means nearby West Lake, East Lake, the Outlet River and Lake Ontario frontage — you can't buy inside the park, so these are properties with beach proximity and dune views.
On the water
Two very different shores
On the Lake Ontario side you'll find limestone ledge, taller bluffs and big-water exposure; to the north and east, sheltered stretches of the Bay of Quinte and Adolphus Reach offer calmer boating and excellent fishing.
The County's wine-country boom has pushed waterfront to premium levels, though it spans everything from West Lake beach cottages to Bay of Quinte estates. Note that dunes and shoreline wetlands are highly protected under the County's Official Plan.
