Shop & Stay - Bay of Quinte Tourism

Time for some retail therapy?

The historic downtowns here in the region are reclaiming their lost identities by creating urban communities of shop owners who offer unique experiences and one of a kind merchandise. The Quinte Mall brings main stream convenience having over 125 stores to shop. Family-friendly hotels have been a mainstay here for years, and a new influx of boutique accommodations popping up each season gives the overnight guest options to choose from.
