One of the side trips we took when we went to Pelee Island was the Point Pelee National Park.
We were there early and took the first shuttle from the visitor center to the tip
of mainland Canada’s outdoor exhibit.

Walking on the trail less traveled and on
the beach, we headed to the tip and were mesmerized by the crashing of the
waves—high on one side and calm on the other, meeting in the middle.

We had a picnic lunch at Black Willow Beach, one of the many
picnic and beach areas of the park. Point Pelee has the longest continuous natural
beach in the Essex county.

There were plenty of things to do in Point Pelee. The kids
did some geocaching,

Apart from trails, picnics, swimming, there are also canoe
tours (and rentals) on the marsh. There, you can also walk the 1km boardwalk loop.
