Southwestern Ontario - a complete travel guide

Endless beaches, natural wonders, vineyards, Enjoy spectacular Southwestern Ontario ...

The main attraction in the Southwestern Ontario region is without a doubt Niagara Falls. Many people have the Falls on their “must see” list of places to visit in their lifetimes and it is easy to see why once there.

Niagara Falls deservedly is a topic in its own right within the pages of this website and all the information you could every desire is found within my Niagara Falls pages.

Southwestern Ontario does however include a lot more for an interested traveler than just Niagara Falls…

Other interesting places include the most southernmost point of mainland Canada to land’s end at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula with its spectacular sunsets.

In between there are major Canadian cities such as Hamilton, London, Kitchener and Windsor and sub regions such as the Golden Horseshoe, Canada’s wine country. Rich in history and culture from Canada’s many ethnic forefathers the region is as diverse as it is beautiful. Next to the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) this region contains a major proportion of the province’s population.

As this is the region that I grew up in and still reside today this Ontario Canada Travel website will naturally have a more in depth knowledge of this particular area. And what a beautiful area it is, there is a reason I have continued to live in this area, I simply cannot get enough of its sights and attractions.

The Southwest Ontario Region is almost completely surrounded by water with beaches as good as any in the country. Fishing, boating and waterskiing are extremely popular activities. Many of the communities that line these shores are rich in local history and culture and most areas along Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay are considered “cottage country”.
