Visiting Ontario Parks
Get the best Ontario Parks experience during your stay by reserving your daily vehicle permit to skip the line and the worry!
Planning for a beach day...
Picture this...
You're packing your family into your car to have a beach day at one of the Ontario Parks, taking the time to drive there, and then getting turned away because the park is at capacity...
We offer one Ontario Parks Pass for each suite, that you can use to reserve your spot for the day at Sandbanks or any other local provincial park up to five days in advance.
Reserving your spot in the park will ensure you aren't turned away, and it speeds up the line to get in.

The building is full of historical charm and Sharon has done an amazing job of making the space feel inviting and cozy. She has included many thoughtful details such as the pet accessories, the welcome basket and the provincial park pass. Being so close to the shops, restaurants, walking trails, and entertainment venues is a real benefit.
How to Book In Advance

Using the seasonal vehicle permit’s serial number, you can secure your spot up to five days in advance at no cost to you.
Remember to bring your confirmation AND your seasonal permit when you visit.
Just like daily vehicle permits, accessing a park with a seasonal permit is subject to park capacity limits. Plan your visit with confidence by obtaining a daily vehicle permit in advance.

Sharon was available and super helpful before and during our stay. She reminded us to make our reservations for the beach and she provided us with the provincial park pass (it saved us 25$ per day at the beach)
Plus it is no more than 30-35 min away from Sandbanks.

You don't want to pack the car, get your group excited about going only to be turned away, so don't forget to reserve your dates up to 5 days in advance!
In short, yes. During the busy summer months when it's hot and the weather is nice, the park is usually at capacity very early. When it comes to going to the parks without an advance reservation, it's a first come, first served situation.
Sandbanks is well known for their sand dunes and beaches, and is a well-loved spot for locals and tourists alike to beat the heat. When Sandbanks is full, North beach is the next stop for many to have their fun in the sun. You can reserve ahead at either park!
The best thing you can do is to book in advance, and with the passes we offer, you don't have to pay to access the park, and you won't have to worry about being turned away.
We offer the use of our park passes as a perk of staying with us. It's important to us that our guests enjoy their time in the area, so we encourage everyone to make use of all that we have to offer.
Please leave the park pass in the suite where you found it when you leave, to avoid being charged a replacement fee.

Sandbanks and North Beach are both about 35 minutes away by car, mostly through the beautiful Prince Edward County, and the place comes with a complimentary pass to the beaches. Make sure you reserve your parking spots in advance of your trips to the beach or you will be turned away. Information to reserve your parking spots can be found on the Ontario Provincial parks website. Sharon is a great host. She responded within minutes of any query we had, and is really friendly - and helpful.
