 Georgina isn’t just a great place to live; it’s also a great place to build sandcastles. Its 52 kilometres (32 miles) of shoreline includes numerous beaches to let you channel your internal architect, or just swim in the pristine waters of Lake Simcoe. Georgina Community Maps has published an excellent map detailing the position of many of the area’s beaches in addition to other sites of historic and cultural interest. As a public service, York Region tests many of the public beaches in the Georgina, Keswick and Sutton area twice a week throughout the summer months. The following is a list of some of the more prominent beaches:
Balfour Beach
Claredon Beach
De La Salle Beach
Franklin Beach
Holmes Point
Island Grove
Jackson's Point Beach
Keswick Beach (Church St.)
North Gwillimbury Park
Paradise/Willow Beach
Parkwood Crescent Beach (South Keswick – Glenwoods)
Peninsula Motel
Port Bolster Beach
 Georgina is blessed with many municipal parks, regardless of whether you are looking for playground adventure or a quiet picnic spot. We also enjoy having in our midst parks dedicated to the preservation of ecological diversity unique to Lake Simcoe. For example, Duclos Point is a Park Preserve and is home to Black Ash, Silver Maple, cattails, bulrushes, wild rice, and small pockets of thicket swamp sheltering birds such as the Marsh Wren, Osprey and Caspian Tern. It also boasts an extensive offshore sandbar.
 Sibbald Point Provincial Park is the grand-daddy of local parks. Boasting a full complement of services, its visitors enjoy its long sandy beaches, choice campsites, extensive grassy picnic areas and forested hiking trails. The Park is situated on land owned by the Sibbald family for 130 years before being sold to the County of York  in 1951. The Park maintains Eildon Hall, the original Sibbald family estate, built as the brainchild of Susan Sibbald, and now a museum documenting 19th century rural Ontario life. Just outside and handy to the Park is St. George's Anglican Church. Built by Susan Sibbald's sons, it was completed in 1877, and serves the community to this day. Attached to the church is a small cemetery which contains the graves of many prominent citizens of the Lake Simcoe area including writers Stephen Leacock and Mazo de la Roche. Sibbald is very popular - patrons wishing to camp are urged to visit Ontario Parks to book in advance. Day visitors are always welcome.
Financing Your Home >Financial Help
Escalating home prices often cause many first-time buyers to seek help from their families for the down payment on a new home. If your parents are providing financial assistance for the purchase of a home, it is important that you have very clear agreements with them about the conditions under which their help will be provided.
Sit down with your parents to discuss the details of the arrangement. Is the money they are providing a gift or a loan? If it is a gift, be sure to check with your tax expert to minimize the tax implications. If your parents are loaning the money for the down payment, how will it be paid back? Will there be joint ownership with an equity-sharing agreement? Will your parents be named on the ownership papers with you? Are special documents needed?
Whatever form it takes, parents who help their children buy a home give them an incredible gift!
