Tourism: this is the only place to discover Canada and the United States at the same time. You know why?

You know why? Because it is not too crowded with tourism yet and still close enough to everything you want to see and visit; Crystal Beach, at the South Coast of Canada. Only 15 minutes from Niagara Falls and very close to a sandy beach. This is geographical ideal when wanting to visit the States and Canada. Staying in Canada is less expensive and the people are very friendly.

The easiest way to get around is renting a car, which you can do at the airport or locally. After you have found your way to Crystal Beach we will help you to find your way around and show you the way to the places you want to see. A must see of course is Niagara Falls. I mean it is still one of the Wonders of the World and although not everyone likes the busy tourism around it, you have to see through that and just focus on this immense waterfall. Visiting the first time, there is only one road to take and that is the Niagara Parkway. It will take you from Fort Erie at Lake Erie, along the Niagara River to The Falls. After having seen Niagara Falls the Parkway goes on and will lead you to Niagara on the Lake where it ends at Lake Ontario. There, on a clear day you will have a beautiful view of the skyline of Toronto.

Niagara on the Lake is a lovely, little town which will remind you of England. Tourism is big here, especially in the summer months. Lots of little shops and great tasting food in cosy restaurants where they also will serve you several kinds of fantastic wines from all the wineries in this region.A wine tour is an experience you do not want to miss. If there are children with you let them have fun at Marineland or a little closer to us, at Zooz.

Lake Ontario is a deep lake, so the water stays pretty cold, even in the summer and it has mostly rocks along the shores. Lake Erie, on the other hand, is nice, warm and clear in the summer and has lovely, sandy beaches. In Crystal Beach you will find one of them.

If you want to have the ultimate camping experience, Canada is perfect for it. Albert Hofman had this experience and loved it.

One of the cities in Ontario you want to visit is Toronto, which is about 140 km from Crystal Beach. It can be a one or two day visit, depends how much you want to see and do.
Some other cities you might want to drive to are Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec. Although some people rather fly there.

Except the airport in Toronto, there is also the very convenient airport in Hamilton. It has, as an example, really great and cheap flights to the United Kingdom (worth checking out).

Even closer by is the airport of Buffalo, NY. It is only a 20 minute drive from Crystal Beach. This airport is smaller, so not as busy as Toronto, which can be a relief. They have great deals on flying to New York City. Maybe an idea for a few days?
Or you rather want to fly to Orlando and take the kids as a surprise to Disney World? No kids and you want to surprise your partner, fly to Orlando or Fort Lauderdale and book a cruise.
Especially in the winter they have good deals on flights to Europe (with a connection)as well.

It is a little further but still a great drive to the beaches in New Hampshire or Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Another direction and also very beautiful is a drive to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. Endless beaches.

As you can see, Crystal Beach is geographical ideal to visit Canada and the United States.
