Ontario Beaches Near Restaurants-Pre Packed Picnic Lunches
 |
| Orillia Ontario Beach Lake Couchiching |
The wiki article How to Pack a Lunch for the Beach (with video) - wikiHow Packing snacks and food for the beach is certainly an important process and there are great tips here. Many Beach Resorts in Ontario will pack you a lunch if you do not have the time to do all the shopping. My preference is to get off the beach for a total break from the sun (even under an umbrella you pick up rays). Try to pick beach areas with restaurants nearby or at least know of beach areas where there is plenty of shade for a complete break. Ontario is blessed with lots of trees beside lakes and has plenty of shaded beach areas. See Ontario Beaches http://www.400eleven.com/ontario-beaches.html
