Pelee Island
Canada’s most southerly inhabited point is an Island approximately 14.5km (9mi) long and 5.5km (3.5mi) wide. The climate of Pelee Island is very unique as a result of its extreme southern location and the moderating influence of Lake Erie. The warm, shallow waters found in Lake Erie create the perfect climate to grow grapes. Visit the Pelee Island Wine Pavilion to sample some locally made wines. Birders flock to Pelee Island to see the annual migrations of species rarely seen elsewhere. Other rare and endangered flora and fauna can also be found on the island.
