Plan ahead for your next visit to the Bay of Quinte
Kingston-based travel content creator Marie Doucet (@msurlaroute) recently visited Belleville and found some new favourite restaurants, toured Glanmore National Historic Site, visited the Enchanted Holiday Market and got a bit of fresh air at H.R. Frink Conservation Area. Even though her trip ended up having a holiday theme, most of these spots can be visited year-round.
In the winter we have two options: give in to the desire to hibernate in a blanket burrito until spring or get out of the house, be social and try new things. Leaving the house in the winter doesn’t have to be all about bundling up and braving the elements (or it can be if that’s your jam—we do love a good hike). The Bay of Quinte region has a bunch of spots to hang out where you can still keep snug indoors.
Winter is a time for cozy sweaters, hot cocoa, and making memories with your family. But who says it has to break the bank? In the Bay of Quinte region, we understand the value of your hard-earned dollars, especially when planning a family getaway. With hotel stays averaging around $300 for two nights, you’re not just saving money – you’re stretching your vacation budget further, making every dollar count towards creating unforgettable memories.
Looking to plan a weekend getaway for two without breaking the bank? I’ve got the inside scoop on the perfect couple’s weekend getaway with a $500 budget. Get ready to join me, an avid tourist in my own backyard, and my travel partner-in-crime, aka bae, as I share our adventure in the Bay of Quinte region!
Bright lights, wagon rides, parades, vendor markets… the magic of the holiday season is just getting started around here in the BoQ. We’ve made the list and suggest you check it twice so you don’t miss out on the fun.
A DAY AT THE MUSEUM We’ll be the first to admit we love a good binge-watch on Netflix, but sometimes you just need to get away from your screen and experience things in real life.
Napanee has a diverse and delicious roster of foodie spots that are well worth the trip, plus there’s no shortage of stuff to do in between indulging in these lovely eats.
When was the last time you went on a date night, just because? If your answer is “I don’t remember” then it’s definitely time to treat yourself—no special occasion required. Get a babysitter, book that hotel, get that URide, get the dinner (with dessert) you’ve been drooling over and treat yourself to a show.
Our region is ripe with resources for you to tackle many of the most popular resolutions around. Using our Best of the Bay 2023 Winners, I was able to come up with four resolutions that I’ll personally try to start in 2024. Check out our Instagram and TikTok throughout the month of January for weekly check-ins on these resolutions and spots.
