I wish I had been able to find the following information before traveling to Pelee Island, Ontario this past summer.There are no stores (except a liquor store). There is no ATM (there is one, but it only has cash once a month). The water is non-potable (and there is no store from which to buy bottled water). Except for the winery and two bars (which are filled nightly with the 20s hook-up crowd), there is NOTHING to do. Except for the twice daily ferry ($$$), there is NO WAY to get off the island to buy things (unless you own an airplane).People will say that I should have known - yes, I should have, but there was no place online I could find with this info. If you go, take EVERYTHING you're going to need - water, feminine products, cash, etc. We won't be going back. Been there, done that.

We love to take tours whenever we are in a new area to us. This was an excellent way to see the island and our guide was very knowledgeable. It never sounded like she was bored!!! Very important to us. Great gal, two hours well spent!

Waited for ferry to take us to Leamington in Ontario. Drove car to winery and picked up a couple of bottles of locally made wine. Not much else there. Felt very desolate. Customs officers were friendly.

Absolutely beautiful. It is so nice to see a island like pelee so preserved and so well cared for. The inhabitants of the island should be applauded. Especially the farmers. What beautiful fields and farms. So clean and refreshing. No wonder people never want to leave.

This is the best way to see Peele. No need for a car they even have electric bikes! Stop by the bakery before the ferry arrives to avoid the line up.

My husband, a business world traveler - has taken me to many traditional vacation spots - i.e. Maldives - pure white sand, clear water, private tropical islands, many people would consider their dream vacation.Pelee Island has out done even the Maldives for me! It is my Paradise for the simple fact that it helps me escape reality. The fun begins taking the ferry boat over to the Island. There are so many B&B's which have had great reviews besides the B&B I have experienced there for two years now (having only been twice to Pelee). "The Gathering Place" gets my vote! with an infinity star rating of excellence. Excellence in Cleanliness, Attractiveness, Plenty of Delicious Homecooked food, presented in the finest fashion, a host & hostess who go above & beyond to educate you about the Island and the fun things you can do. The Island has a top-of-the-line bakery, soft ice cream stand, hard ice cream stand, winery, museum, arts & crafts center, hardware store, post office, gift shop, lighthouse, a few restaurants serving food that everyone loves including the perch & pickeral being specialties, of course and more. You can rent boats and bikes, or bring your own bikes like we do. Most of all you can sit and relax feeling the wonderful breezes, as you enjoy beautiful sunsets while listening to the sounds of the wide variety of birds that come to the Island. It is a bird lover's Paradise - therefore my Paradise! For those who love to swim - jump in and enjoy the waves! I am a naturalized American Citizen who resides in PA, USA who looks forward to this getaway every year now. I plan to return every year until the day I die. I love you Pelee and miss you!!

Let's be clear. If you seek the traditional fun and excitement of busy resort towns (like Sandusky OH or Port Dover ON), bars and attractions, crowds, lots of shopping and fine dining, you have come to the wrong place. On the other hand, if you want to get away from the daily grind and familiar urban environments of most Great Lakes areas, definitely try Pelee Island - just come prepared.What will I find at Pelee Island? Some quaint B&Bs, a good and popular bakery, a quirky lake-themed restaurant with good lake fish (e.g., perch, pickerel) and Long Island ice teas, quiet sandy beaches, lonely roads ideal for biking, some isolated and tranquil wilderness areas, beautiful sunsets and some lovely places to relax with cool onshore breezes and don’t forget bird watching (lots of it). If you can entertain yourself with cycling, reading, swimming, hiking, walking and wine drinking, and do not require the stimulation of lots of other people, Pelee can offer you a private setting where you might come to believe the rest of the world does not exist (or at least you won’t care if it does). It can be a true get-away. The Pelee Islanders refer to it as living on “Pelee time” which is distinguished by having no numbers.How should I prepare to visit? Go to Pelee Island with the knowledge that many conveniences are not easy to obtain, if at all available. If you have a favorite food, drink or medication, bring lots of it with you. Prepare not to live fancy or on a clock. The lake-themed restaurant is nice and the food is good (not fancy). Just be prepared for the owner, a friendly man, to be at the beach or doing a chore. Like with most things at Pelee, just pull up a chair, relax and eventually you will get what you want – if it is available. Bring some binoculars for bird watching. Bring a good book or two. Bring some bug spray – you may or may not need it. Throw away your watch, mobile phone and expectations for Pelee Island to be like the rest of Southern ON. It is not.Get prepared. Take a chance and try relaxation Pelee Island-style – if you dare.

So to begin we were going to take the big blue bus tour. So happy we choose these amazing ladies instead. The tour guide Burney grew up there and knew so much about her home and was so informative. We made many stops along the way and she was more then willing to answer countless questions about the Island. She was also willing to take group pictures for us at various spots. On any of the stops if we wanted to get out of the van and take pictures she encouraged us to. I noticed on the Blue Bus Tour this was not an option they only got off once. The best thing about this tour I think is that it is more personal your not with 50 other people. I would recommend anyone going to the Island to go on this tour is more then worth your money. Oh and did I mention A/C and comfy seats!!! These ladies made our trip to Pelee Island so enjoyed and fun we will be back for sure and will take the tour again.Thanks =)

I have to say the day was pleasant but there isn't a lot to do or see. A visit to the winery is, of course, a must, but there are not a lot of stores or attractions and only a small handful of restaurants. I regret that we did not go straight to the winery for our lunch. Their garden is lovely. We went on a Wednesday and some places were closed. I expect there might be more happening on weekends but then you need to deal with more crowds, on the ferry and in other locations. Having said all that, if I was in need of a quiet and peaceful place to go to relax and unwind ....... absolutely. the Island has some delightful looking Inns and B&Bs. If you are looking for somewhere just to go sit and chill for a few days, or a week, read a book or two, take some long walks or bike rides, this is your haven.

We enjoyed the ferry ride to and from the island, and everyone we met was very friendly.We were surprised and disappointed to see that there were so few amenities close to the ferry harbour. Much of the area is for sale, the hotel was closed and boarded up, and they could use a nice restaurant on the waterfront.
