Finding Holiday Beach
The Sunday of our two day trip to the most southern region of Canada. Was suppose to of been spent on Pelee Island. That plan was changed. Due to the very warm temperatures. Also there are only set times. That the ferry boat runs between Leamington and Pelee Island. So plan B included a drive heading further west along the coast of Lake Erie.
Our hostess Bea recommended a another nice recreational park named "Holiday Beach". So that was our second idea. Was to chill and relax in the Holiday Beach park. Also the second part of our good idea was tour the Pelee Island Winery. The main part of there operation is located in the town of Kingsville. Bea had given us a free pass for wine tasting and a tour. The Essex County area is now home to 16 wineries. So to enjoy some wine tasting and a tour is great idea, on a really hot day.
The swimming on Holiday Beach was disappointing. The temperature of the water was not the problem is was the cleanliness of the water. it was recommended to to submerge my head in the water. So I did not. I also had a shower after my short swim on the beach, to rinse off. The beach here is no as nice for swimming compared to Presqu'ile Provincial Park.
The first 5 pictures of this post are from Holiday Beach Park. The last picture is a picture of Pelee Island. Taken during our tour of the winery located in Kingsville.
