COLCHESTER DAY TRIP
Not sure what Colchester has to offer? You're in luck. We have created a list of places we think you should check out if you have one day to spare.
FIRST STOP: Oxley Beach Golf Course
Start your day off right with an early tee time at what used to be a large family farm, that was transformed into a beginner friendly 18-hole golf course in 1963. Enjoy the gentle Lake Erie breeze on your back and practice your short game. Play the signature 13th hole which features a small natural pond and a grove of tall willows and poplars. No matter how you score on each hole, you will leave the grounds admiring the scenic beauty and the occasional sightings of wildlife. Canada’s southernmost golf course welcomes you!
SECOND STOP: Garfield's
After your round, head on over to Garfield's and try a local favourite. At Garfield’s, you can always expect that personable County Road 50 charm in a casual dining environment. From classic pub-fare to completely reimagined dishes, Garfield’s has all the menu items you’ve been craving. Take a peek at their extensive menu and pick from fan favorites such as the gooey mozzarella-stick grilled cheese and crispy Lake Erie Perch. With fresh local ingredients decorating each dish, your taste buds can indulge in a variety of foods such as meats from Uptown Meats and yellow perch straight from the Colchester docks. Come discover the authentic tastes of Garfield’s and see what the buzz is all about!
THIRD STOP: Colchester Beach
After lunch at Garfield's, spend your afternoon soaking up some sun at Colchester Beach. Lay on the beach and read a good book, spike some volleyballs in the sand, or head to the top of the bluff and enjoy the splash pad with the kids. When it comes time to refuel again, give The Wreck at Colchester Harbour a try and finish your day off right. The Wreck offers casual lake-view dining on the shore of Lake Erie with two decks to enjoy the view, weather, food and drinks! Stop by and enjoy Lake Erie perch and pickerel, local produce and a wide range of appetizers, burgers and vegan options!
