Cobourg, a Beautiful Small Ontario Waterfront Town with a Lovely Beach

We visited our good friend and celebrated his birthday with him in Bellville, a small town about two hours drive from Toronto. After spending a couple of days with HP and Ra., we stopped and visited Cobourg, a small town about 80 Km from Toronto on our way home.

Though we drove by Cobourg many times in the past many years, for some reason, we never felt the need to stop there for a visit. This time, we did and we discovered another beautiful small town within driving distance from our home.

Cobourg, with a population of around 20,000, is growing. We visited the downtown street lined with some nice shops and restaurants. We enjoyed a hardy traditional breakfast at one of the trendy eateries. It was relaxing and enjoyable.

After lunch, we explored the city a little and discovered the city's lovely waterfront park close by. This small town is evidently growing as we saw many new modern homes recently built along the shore.

To our pleasant surprise, we also discovered a nice sandy beach in the waterfront area. How lovely it was walking barefooted on a prestine beach!

Another interesting fact about Cobourg - it was the site of the location shooting for a Netflix series called Ginny and Georgia. Apparently, the production team like Cobourg so much that they returned to shoot there for a second season. After our visit to Cobourg this time, we will definitely will return in the future again!
