Sandbanks Provincial Park
Sandbanks Provincial Park, Provincial park in Prince Edward County, Canada
The park features extensive sand dunes and sandy beaches along Lake Ontario, with formations reaching heights of 25 meters above the water level.
Following extensive timber cutting in the 1880s, destabilized soil caused sand dunes to drift inland, forcing the relocation of Athol town in 1881.
The park serves as a significant ecological preservation site, protecting native flora like sea rocket and American beachgrass, alongside diverse shorebird populations.
Visitors can access over 600 campsites across six campground areas, including Outlet River, Cedars, Richardson's, Woodlands, and West Lake locations.
The location contains the largest bay-mouth barrier dune formation globally, stretching eight kilometers along the northern shore of Lake Ontario.
