Living in Cobourg

Cobourg is located on Lake Ontario, east of Toronto along the 401. Known for small-town charm, a Heritage Conservation District and a well-preserved downtown.

About Cobourg

Visitors love Victoria Park Beach — and Cobourg Beach, a large sand waterfront featuring family picnic areas, splash park, playground and a nearby outdoor pool, all walking distance to downtown restaurants. 

Cobourg is famous for its Waterfront Festival (local artisans, entertainment, food trucks, art shows, midway on the pier). 

Key services in Cobourg include a large hospital, library, city buses and a VIA station. 

Once a retirement town, Cobourg has drawn many younger families in the last few years due to its proximity to the GTA, with many commuting to the GTA or Durham Region.
