Port Colborne cottages for rent include spacious homes, cabins, and villas right on the shore of Lake Erie. These superb homes are the perfect place for a vacation for families and groups of friends looking to enjoy plenty of time on the water.

Go fishing or enjoy a day at Nickelback Beach

Head to the Mud Lake Conservation area with your children and help them to discover the joy of fishing. The ponds, streams, and lakes in the area are the perfect place for young children to get a feel for using a rod. Bring your own equipment or hire from one of the outdoor centers in town. Sugarloaf Harbour Lagoon is another great fishing spot closer to town.

Nickelback Beach is a lovely, sandy beach in Port Colbourne where kids can build sandcastles or splash in the shallow water. If the children get bored of the beach, walk to nearby H.H Knoll Lakeview Park for a game of mini-golf and a play on Melissa's Playground and splash pad.

Visit Niagra Falls or discover the thrill of scuba diving in Lake Erie

Niagra Falls is just a short drive from Port Colborne and is easily one of the most popular natural attractions in the world. Explore a different side of the falls by taking a guided tour behind Horseshoe Falls. Expect to get very wet as part of this truly unforgettable experience. If you prefer to stay dry, take a boat trip to the base of the falls or a helicopter flight over Niagra Falls.

Lake Erie is home to over 2000 shipwrecks making it a great destination for scuba divers and those wanting to learn to scuba dive.

Experienced divers can explore deeper wrecks on guided dives.
