Essex at a Glance
Essex is Ontario's southern-most
region and is almost entirely surrounded by water. This lush region is covered
in vineyards and parks, making it a popular summer destination. Be sure to visit
Pelee Island,
Canada's southernmost point, for a chance to see extraordinary migratory birds,
beautiful monarch butterflies and second-to-none sunsets. Pelee Island is also
famous for its Wine
Pavilion, which offers samples of local wines and is also a frequent venue
for events around the island. Windsor,
the metropolitan hub of the region, has everything an urban dweller could hope
for, including the bustling, world-class Casino
Windsor. Explore Ontario's naval history at the rebuilt Gordon
House in Amherstburg.
Everyone is sure to love the charming harbour village, Port
Stanley, which offers visitors the chance to ride on a 140-year-old rail line
from Port Stanley to St.
Thomas.
