Pelee Trip, Episode One - Port Stanley

Friends rented our cottage so we were off A-Lining again. This time to the Pelee area. The first night we had tickets to see Mini Putt at the Port Stanley Theatre so settled our little home away from home in Port Bruce. We like Port Stanley as it has multiple personalities. We are always there for the theatre which is intimate and entertaining and very well run (my brother is the Artistic Director so I am a little biased in this regard). That hit of culture fits with the East side of the harbour which has nice restaurants, Inns and touristy stores. On the West side of the harbour, over the swing bridge, it is a beach town. We ate at GT's, on the deck, right on the beach. The food was good, Mexican/Lake Erie fusion. The vibe was great. It reminded us of Grand Bend when we were in University. There are at least 6 volleyball courts to watch, live music, young people eating and drinking in their beach attire and just a spattering of us older folks.

Port Stanley has a huge beach. Unlike Long Point, you have to pay to park there but I suspect that revenue helps to pay for the change house, washrooms and life guards.
They also have tried to beautify the big oil tanks on the side of the harbour.

The internet is acting up today so its just a short post. The joys of rural internet.
