Your journey
Arrival at West Lake
Drive into the County via the limestone roads that lead to West Lake — the Sandbanks dune ridge visible across the water as you arrive at the resort. The private beach sets the tone: sand, lake, and the massive dunes behind.
Sandbanks by kayak
Collect a kayak from the resort beach and paddle across West Lake to the Sandbanks — the world's largest freshwater barrier dune system, with kilometres of sand and the particular silence of a place that has no motor traffic. The water temperature in West Lake is warmer than Lake Ontario.
West Lake afternoon
Return to the resort beach for afternoon swimming and paddleboarding — the sheltered inland lake is calm and safe, ideal for all ages. The Sandbar Lounge is steps from the water for post-swim drinks and the gradual transition to evening.
The Knoll dining with lake views
Dinner at The Knoll overlooking West Lake and the Sandbanks — a seasonal Ontario menu, local PEC produce, and the stone fireplace and cathedral ceilings that give the dining room its lodge character.
County wine day
Drive or cycle into the PEC winery corridor — Wellington, Bloomfield, and Hillier are within 30 minutes. The County's natural wine producers and artisan cideries make for a very different wine touring experience from Niagara or Okanagan.
About
About this getaway
Isaiah Tubbs Resort is Prince Edward County's only full-service resort — a waterfront property on West Lake, positioned directly adjacent to Sandbanks Provincial Park and its world-famous freshwater dune system and beaches. Open year-round, the resort offers diverse accommodations from waterfront suites with private balconies to kitchenette rooms, family cottages, and motel-style units, all clustered around a private beach on West Lake with the Sandbanks dunes visible across the water.
The resort's amenities span a private sandy beach, lakefront restaurant and waterfront patio, water sports rentals (kayaks, paddleboards, tube rentals), a swimming pool, and extensive conference and event facilities hosting everything from intimate getaways to large-scale weddings and corporate retreats. The inland lake setting — West Lake sits behind the Sandbanks dunes, sheltered and with warmer water than Lake Ontario — makes it an ideal base for paddling, swimming, and the particular leisure of Ontario cottage country.
For travellers exploring Prince Edward County, Isaiah Tubbs offers a different proposition than the boutique wine-country inns of Wellington and Bloomfield: resort-scale facilities, family-friendly accommodation options, and immediate access to what many consider the most spectacular natural feature of Eastern Ontario — the Sandbanks dunes and beaches. The County's wineries, cideries, and farm markets are all within a 30-minute drive.
Isaiah Tubbs Resort sits on one of the most strategically beautiful pieces of land in Prince Edward County — West Lake, the inland waterway that lies directly behind the extraordinary Sandbanks dune system. The property was developed as a resort destination capitalizing on this position: guests could swim and paddle on West Lake with the Sandbanks dunes as their visual backdrop and cross to the park beaches in minutes by kayak.
