Brighton

The landscape around Brighton is a low Lake Ontario shoreline of bays, wetlands and farmland, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town lies near Presqu'ile Bay, while nearby Presqu'ile Provincial Park protects the long, hooked Presqu'ile Point peninsula and its marshes. The area is an important stopover for migratory birds, and the park includes a sandy beach and the historic Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse. Brighton’s agricultural setting is celebrated each autumn at Applefest, a longstanding community festival. Its compact centre makes a useful starting point for discovering Northumberland County’s lakeside communities.
