11 h. ago These Ontario beaches are like a Caribbean getaway right in your backyard

Ontario isn't exactly a destination for tropical beaches, but if you search close enough, there are a few locations in the province that can (almost) make you feel like you've been transported to far-off vacation getaways.Tropical escapes sound far-fetched for a part of the world known for harsh winters, but it's true. In fact, just a few hours outside of Toronto, you can find picturesque beaches that boast serene views of crystal-blue waters and offer warm sandy landscapes that rival some destinations down south.The best part is that you only need three things: transportation, your swimsuit, and probably some sunscreen.So, if you're looking for a staycation getaway but don't want to stray far from home, consider some of these beaches for your next summer adventure. Port Dover Perhaps the most tropical of them all, the beachfront in Port Dover appears to have been imported straight from a Caribbean island.
