Hi, here are my questions : 1. What are the beaches opening hours (Dunes Beach? Outlet Beach? Wellington Beach?) 2. Are propane camping BBQs allowed to these 3 beaches? 3. Is there a permit/pass to visit the 3 beaches in 3 days? How does this work with the parking? 4. Can alcohol be consumed on sites? No glass of course, only cans. Thank you so much, there are so many different websites it is hard to find accurate answers.

Hi, 1) The beaches opening hours would be based on the day use area hours for the provincial park/conservation area. Dunes and Outlet fall under Sandbanks - so, I would say 8am to 10pm Wellington is open from 7am to 9pm 2) If they have bbq pits at the park - you will be allowed it - depends on location. For sandbanks, this should help - Go to Sandbanks site - day use rules No bbqs allowed at wellington beach - Go to Visitpec site and select wellington beach or google it ( i would have provided website links, but they don't allow it in answers) 3) For Dunes and outlet - you could use the same permit since its part of Sandbanks Provincial park. Wellington has entrance fees and gets closed once reaches capacity Use visit pec - wellington website 4) As per the rules of the parks - you can't consume alcohol on the beaches, if caught there are fines. You might notice people still drinking, officially, it won't be allowed. Go to Ontario Parks - sandbanks - park rules No alcohol permitted at wellington beach (provided on site discussed) Hope that helps. Good luck with your trip.
