Things to do in Whitby
While Whitby is within an easy drive to all of the attractions and amenities Toronto has to offer, Whitby residents enjoy a terrific range of things to do and see both within the town’s borders and in the surrounding region. The Lake Ontario waterfront is the perfect place to begin your Whitby tour. Visit the Port Whitby Marina, embark on a sailing excursion, or have lunch at the restaurant. Afterwards, explore the Waterfront Trail, or relax on the grass at Kiwanis Heydenshore Park. Whitby’s compact downtown also has lots to offer in shopping, dining, and a farmer’s market, with many businesses housed in charming old buildings, including the renowned Station Gallery and the Lynde House Museum.
If you’re looking for more historic charm and a vibrant arts and culture scene, Brooklin is a designated heritage conservation area with some beautiful architecture, boutiques, and eateries. Whitby also has a little-known attraction: visit Intrepid Park and discover the site of Camp X, a secret agent school in WWII! For more outdoor pursuits, the Lynde Shores Conservation Area is known for its wildlife, an especially good spot to see migrating waterfowl and shorebirds, and all of its trails are easy to navigate.
