Port Perry

From gorgeous lakeside parks to unique boutiques and an array of internationally-inspired restaurants, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in Port Perry. 
 
Take advantage of Port Perry’s location by enjoying plenty of time by glistening Lake Scugog, the perfect location for boating and fishing. Those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground can still enjoy being near the water by exploring Palmer Park, Birdseye Park, and the Port Perry Marina. Grab a bite while gazing out at the water at the Boathouse Grill, the marina's licensed cafe and patio, or head to one of numerous fantastic dining options along Queen Street, the town's historic main thoroughfare. 
 
Those wanting to learn more about the history of Port Perry and Lake Scugog should check out the Scugog Shores Museum Village. The Museum Village sits at the south end of Scugog Island and is comprised of 11 restored buildings and thousands of original artifacts donated by local community members. 
 
To rival the sparkling waterfront, there’s Port Perry’s charming Victorian Era downtown area. Make sure to set aside some time to stroll Queen Street and gaze up at the architecture while visiting the shops. Queen Street is lined with clothing boutiques, vintage stores, bookstores, furnishing shops, and art galleries. It’s far too easy to spend an entire day indulging in some good old fashioned retail therapy. 
 
Outside of the town centre, visitors can hit the links at Sunnybrae Golf Club, try their luck at the craps table at the Great Blue Heron Casino, or sample the fruit wines at Ocala Winery & Orchards. 
 
Port Perry is constantly a hub of activity, with an extensive yearly lineup of festivals and events. From Theatre on the Ridge to the Mississauga First Nation Pow Wow, the Dragon Boat Festival to the annual Port Perry Fair on Labour Day weekend, there’s always something going on in this lakeside gem.
