If you're going to go to the trouble of going to Pelee Island and you're Canadian you might as well go here just to say you've been to the Southernmost most inhabited place in Canada. It's a nice leisurely bike ride (rentals available at Comfortech Bike Rentals near where the ship docks from 12 to 2pm) to the wooded entrance and then about a 1.5 km hike through the Nature Reserve and then some beach to get to the southernmost point. There's different things to see in the woods. As for the Southernmost point, ignore some of the complaints of people writing before me. It all depends when you go. I went on a warm (23 C, 73F) mid September day. I wasn't bothered by flies or bugs (I didn't even need spray and suffered no bites) and the water wasn't so high that you couldn't walk to the tip of the island. There was probably over 100 Seagulls just sitting down and hanging out at the point. People are so dumb - they act as if the conditions when they went are what it's like all the time. So just go if you're visiting the island.
