THANKS FOR VISITING. COME BACK ANYTIME. We’re so glad you stopped by! Whether you stayed for the afternoon or made a weekend of it, we hope you enjoyed the shoreline breezes, shops, and small-town charm. As you wrap up your visit (or start planning your next one), here are a few gentle reminders on how to be the kind of guest every town hopes for. BE GOOD TO NATURE Our parks, trails, and conservation areas are full of life—let’s keep them that way. Stick to marked paths to avoid trampling native plants and animals, and remember: if you brought it in, take it out. If you spot a stray coffee cup or snack wrapper, toss it in the bin. Future beachgoers will thank you, and so will we. Bonus points for cutting back on single-use plastics while you’re here — our waterfront prefers a low-waste look. THE BEACH RULES, YOU KNOW Yes, it’s gorgeous. And yes, your dog is adorable. But not every section of the beach (definitely not the main one) is dog-friendly, so be sure to check the signs for designated pet areas. Keep your pup leashed in public and always scoop the poop (even the tiny ones!). Also, skip feeding the gulls and ducks — they’re not starving, and they’re much better behaved when sticking to their natural diet. KEEP IT LOCAL To truly experience Cobourg like a local, shop, eat, and stay local. Independent businesses give this town its unique charm, and every purchase helps keep it that way. Whether you’re picking up a handmade gift or grabbing lunch at a downtown cafe, you’re supporting real people doing what they love. PARK AND WANDER Instead of driving from one photo op to the next, park once and explore on foot, rent a bike, or hop on the ride-on-demand transit. It’s better for the planet, easier on traffic, and a lot more fun than circling for a parking spot. LEAVE NO TRACE Simple rule: take only memories, leave only footprints. That includes garbage, cigarette butts, and rogue sandwich wrappers. Let’s keep our parks, trails, and beach picnic-ready for the next visitor (or your next visit). SNAP THOUGHTFULLY Take as many photos as you like—this place was practically built for your camera roll. Just be mindful around private homes and local businesses. Not everyone wants to be part of your slideshow, so when in doubt, ask before snapping. That’s it! Keep it kind, keep it clean, and come back soon. We’ll leave the lights on.
