Waterfront Patios in the Bay of Quinte

PUMPED FOR PATIOS

If we could only pick one thing to brag about in the Bay of Quinte, it might have to be our abundance of waterfront patios scattered across the region. That’s definitely not something you can find everywhere! Take your pick from casual dockside dining at a marina, elevated pub favourites next to the rush of the mighty Moira River or even a pontoon boat if you want to actually dine on the water.
