A few things to keep in mind: Sherkston Shores is a seasonal resort, and individual attractions, activities, restaurants and services may operate on different schedules throughout the season — hours and availability can also be affected by weather. If a particular attraction is an important part of your vacation, we recommend checking its current schedule before your arrival.
No matter when you visit, there's plenty to discover — from relaxing on the beach and enjoying your private rental to exploring Niagara Falls, wineries, golf, hiking, shopping and local restaurants. Sherkston Shores makes a great home base for a Niagara getaway.
