Nice day trip!

I went with my husband and my mom on this trip. We had a really great time! We visited most recommended spots for the trip. We decided to skip the main park in destination 3 since the price to get in was way too much in my opinion. Price is okay if you spent lots of time there but not worth it if you are only going for about an hour. The recommended beach in the 3rd destination was nice too but I personally wasn't that fond of the recommended park area. The park area would be better if you went on this trip with your little ones because it had play ground equipment and you had a small area to go by the water but that was it.
The trip was so worth it for all the other spots though. I would say you can almost skip the 3rd destination all together or if you end up making this an overnight trip, to do the 3rd destination the next day. Overall, I would definitely go back to some of these areas again.

Ok but could be better

A lot of nice hidden gems we’d never heard of before! The cafe was great! We ran into a few issues though. We couldn’t find the trail on stop one so we took a different one & it was rough terrain & muddy. The lookout was blocked off so couldn’t see anything. The trail at stop two wasn’t marked & was extremely unsafe & difficult to do. I fell & was covered in mud. The view was nice though. The farm at stop three was more of a stand with barely anything in it when it was described as a country market! The two beaches at stop three weren’t really beaches, just rocky shorelines. The directions to one of them was wrong so we got lost. The last beach at stop four was beautiful & we went swimming. The restaurant was closed due to no hydro but we found a great bbq place instead. The second brewery at stop four was really nice.

Great road trip!

The only issue we had was a fence around the lookout at stop 1. A local told us about a hole in the fence and a path we could take to the lookout. If it wasn't for the local, it would not have been worth it. Overall, a great day with lots of options!
