My family of 4 + dog piled in the car at 9:30am and returned home at 7:30pm and had the best day together!! Lots of fun activities ranging from hikes, to beach swims, to shops! Everyone (teenagers included) had a really great day! We discovered LOTS of places we did not know about and we live within the area of the trip! Thank you Guess Where Trips! We will definitely try another trip soon!

My daughter, our dog Finley and I set out on the Bridges and Beaches adventure and very much enjoyed our journey. Without ruining the surprises along the way, we loved our pitstop in Millbank and recommend that no one overlook this stop! We enjoyed a leisurely stroll and enjoyed the scenery on our way to where Finley enjoyed a cooling dip. Unfortunately, the bridges were under construction, however, it did not stop us from travelling to the bridges for a look see. Overall, the trip supplied a little something for each of us. A day well spent!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for Bridges to Beaches! We are thrilled to hear that you and your family (including Finley!) had a great time on our adventure. We apologize for any inconvenience with the bridges being under construction, but we are glad to hear that it didn't stop you from enjoying the rest of the trip. We hope to see you again soon for another fun-filled day!

We had a lot of fun! Unfortunately the bridge we made it to was closed but we made the most of it, can’t wait to try another one!
Thank you so much for leaving a review! Yes, it is unfortunate that one of the bridges on this trip is currently closed for construction, but we're glad you made it to the other one. And we're so happy that you had a great time overall! :)

What a fun day!
Loved browsing Anna Mae’s gift shop-regret not buying some tarts!
Loooved the goats! So fun.!
It was great finding some hidden gems!
We found the trail along the bridge was not well marked thought we might be infringing on peoples properties
We did pass by a lavender farm and had thought it might be fun to see it added on as an option one day!
Glad we didn’t bring our dog the beach didn’t appear to be dog friendly.
Overall great day! Would recommend it!
We're so happy you had a great day out exploring! And we LOVE your 'GWT 2025' beach pic!! Thank you for your review and feedback; we'll look into everything and make updates as needed. :)

I gave the Bridges to Beaches Mystery Tour to my daughter & son-in-law for her Birthday. I picked a tour near to where they would be vacationing. They did the tour today and loved it! They were happy they could take their child (Daisy their dog) with them on the adventure. They didn't try any of the suggested restaurants, but have a dog sitter for tomorrow and will try one of the restaurants for lunch. They took a lot of pictures and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
We're so happy to hear this! Bridges to Beaches is such a fantastic summer road trip, so glad they enjoyed it! :)
