Loved our stay at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel. Such a lovely property in an idyllic location, steps from the beach and many restaurants. Rooms are renovated and have so many wonderful touches from the terry cloth robes to the beach bags with frizbees and towels. We borrowed an umbrella and chairs to take for our beach day too. They also had cute bikes you could borrow as well! Would definitely stay again!
