Wasaga Beach
About 14 km of sand along the eastern shore of Nottawasaga Bay, said to be the world's longest freshwater beach. The shallow, gentle water makes it Ontario's most popular lake beach in summer.
Wasaga Beach lies on the east shore of Nottawasaga Bay. Its sandy stretch extends about 14 km, billed as the longest freshwater beach in the world, and is part of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. The water is shallow and calm, suitable for children. Lots 1 and 2, near the main street, have restaurants and entertainment and are the busiest and liveliest. Lots 3 to 6 further west are quieter and better for families, and a dune trail runs near Lot 6. Provincial park parking is charged per day and often fills by midday on summer weekends. It is about a 20-minute drive from Collingwood.
