Providence Bay Beach
The island's longest sandy beach, with a wooden boardwalk running along the dunes. Clear lake water makes it a great spot for summer swimming and sunsets.
Providence Bay lies on the island's south shore and has the longest fine sand beach on the island, about 1 km long. A wooden boardwalk and viewing platforms run along the dunes to protect the fragile dune vegetation. The lake water is shallow and clear, ideal for swimming and paddleboarding in summer, and the sunsets are lovely in the evening. The beach has a free visitor centre (discovery centre), a campground and a café. It is about a 20-minute drive from Mindemoya.
