Kingston Peninsula is the kind of place that people who know about it are quietly possessive of and those who don't know about it are absolutely going to fall in love with.
Three ferries connect the peninsula to Grand Bay-Westfield, Saint John and Quispamsis (fun fact: the latter of which was the site of the world's first cable ferry).
Route 845, which runs along the perimeter of the peninsula, is the main local road. There is also a seasonal provincial ferry (May–November) from Summerville to Kennebecasis Island, a small summer community in Milkish Channel.
The Kingston Peninsula exists in its own unhurried world, and the people who choose to live here, or escape here, wouldn't have it any other way.
And before you ask; no, there's no bridge. That's not an oversight. That's a feature. 😄 The Peninsula attracts those who have been coming here for generations with cottage life along the water, and those who discovered it and never quite got around to leaving.
Year-round residents cherish the space, the solitude, the land, and the deep connection to nature that's impossible to replicate closer to the city. It's also one of the most beautiful Sunday drives in the entire region.
Whether you're looking for a seasonal cottage retreat, a year-round sanctuary, or just a reminder of why you love living here, Kingston Peninsula delivers every single time. Some places are worth the ferry ride. This is absolutely one of them.
