Perhaps you thought of Prince Edward Island, a small province in our Atlantic Maritime. While the scenery there is fantastic (or so I hear), I am talking about the Island in Lake Ontario. Roughly 90 minutes out from the core, you will turn right just before you get to Belleville. 

It is something unique.

Trust me (or better yet, see for yourself).

Founded initially as a Loyalist Homestead, the area is now famous for its summer vacation vibe. The towns are very walkable, connected by a major thoroughfare. You know the deal; you keep driving on the same street, seeing a new welcome sign every couple of lights. While waiting, remember that you are no longer in Toronto! Take a gander outside, taking in the fresh lake air and vintage stores. You will see stores that are oneofakind, operated by families with deep roots in the local community. Many Churches are empty during the winter, used (almost) entirely for the wedding season during the warmer months. They were constructed around confederation, providing a glimpse into the past.
