 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.
Buying Land and New Construction >Buying New Or Adding On
Homeowners should consider several questions before making the choice between adding on to an existing home or moving up in the market to a bigger house. How much money do you have available for remodeling your current house? How much additional space do you require? Is there room to expand on the ground level or will the foundation of your present home support a second floor? What will the local zoning and building ordinances permit? How much equity do you have in the property? Are there affordable properties for sale that would satisfy your housing needs?
Consider your neighborhood--it makes more sense to add on to a smaller house than to over-improve the largest home in the area. Your decision should ultimately be based on your individual needs, the extent of the work involved and which features will add the most value. According to industry experts, buyers are always excited by state-of-the art kitchens and bathrooms.
