When you book a stay with us you’re not just booking a forest escape — you’re unlocking the perfect basecamp for exploring some of Ontario’s most beautiful beaches. Within a short drive, you can sink your toes into the sand at Port Dover, Turkey Point, or Long Point — each offering its own unique charm, activities, and views.

Wake Up in the Woods, Spend the Day by the Water

There’s something magical about waking up surrounded by towering trees, sipping your morning coffee in the stillness of the forest, and then heading out for a sun-filled day on the beach. From Oliver’s Tiny House, you can easily plan a beach day (or two!) without sacrificing the peace and privacy of your forest retreat.

Port Dover Beach

Famous for its warm waters and small-town charm, Port Dover is a favourite for swimmers, foodies, and anyone who loves a stroll on a classic beach boardwalk.

  • Must-Do: Try the legendary perch and pickerel fish and chips at a local restaurant

  • Vibe: Relaxed, family-friendly, with shops and cafes to explore between dips in the lake

Turkey Point Beach

If you love a wide sandy shoreline and shallow waters, Turkey Point is your spot. Known for being both family-friendly and a hub for water sports, it’s a great choice for an active beach day.

  • Drive time from Oliver’s Tiny House: ~15 minutes

  • Must-Do: Rent a paddleboard or kayak and explore the shoreline

  • Vibe: Laid-back yet lively, with plenty of room to spread out a beach blanket

Long Point Beach

Nature lovers will adore Long Point, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve known for its incredible wildlife and pristine sand dunes. It’s a paradise for birdwatchers, photographers, and anyone seeking a quieter beach experience.

  • Drive time from Oliver’s Tiny House: ~30 minutes

  • Must-Do: Walk along the dunes and keep an eye out for migratory birds

  • Vibe: Peaceful and natural, with a focus on conservation and beauty

The Best of Both Worlds

After a day of sunshine, sand, and lake breezes, there’s nothing better than coming back to your own private Nordic spa in the forest.

  • Fire up the wood-burning sauna

  • Soak in the hot tub under the stars

  • Share stories by the fire pit as the forest comes alive with night sounds

At Oliver’s Tiny House, you get the best of both worlds: easy access to some of Ontario’s most beloved beaches and a secluded, nature-filled retreat to call your own.
