Norfolk County: Eat, Play, Discover, Stay!


Description

Come to Ontario's South Coast, located along the north shore of Lake Erie in southwestern Ontario, Norfolk County is a charming destination known for its picturesque countryside, beautiful beaches, and thriving local food scene. Just a couple of hours from Toronto and London, this region is often referred to as "Ontario’s Garden" due to its rich agricultural heritage and abundance of fresh produce. We grow more apples, cherries, pumpkins, strawberries, sweet corn and sweet potatoes than anywhere else in Ontario. Visitors will find a mix of small-town charm, festivals, outdoor adventure, and culinary delights, making it a perfect getaway for nature lovers and food enthusiasts alike.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love exploring the county’s stunning landscapes, including the famous Long Point—a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This natural wonder is a paradise for birdwatchers, kayakers, and beachgoers, offering pristine sandy shores and diverse wildlife. Turkey Point Provincial Park is another must-visit, featuring hiking trails, sandy beaches, and even zip-lining adventures at Long Point Eco-Adventures. Cyclists can take advantage of the region’s scenic countryside routes, including the Norfolk County Rail Trail. Family Fun includes beautiful beaches, trails, golf, amusement parks, horseback riding and so much more!

Norfolk County is also home to a growing wine, craft beer, and culinary scene. The region boasts award-winning wineries and breweries, such as Burning Kiln Winery and New Limburg Brewing Company, where visitors can sample unique local flavors. The county is famous for its farm-to-table experiences, with restaurants and markets showcasing fresh, locally grown produce. The town of Port Dover, known for its lively Friday the 13th motorcycle gatherings, is a great spot to enjoy fresh Lake Erie perch and a stroll along the pier.
