It's easy to find charming small towns in Ontario, and Port Perry is definitely one that stands out from the pack. Port Perry is just a 1.5-hour drive from Toronto in Durham Region, and it's sure to be a top spot on your summer road trip bucket list. Recent examples include 2018, when Port Perry was transformed into small-town Red Rock, Texas, for the Hallmark film Season for Love. In 2004, Port Perry served as a small town in Maine for the movie Welcome to Mooseport, starring Ray Romano and Gene Hackman. Port Perry has a little something for everyone, whether you need a chill beach day or a range of other escapes from the city grind.
