North Beach Provincial Park
A long, narrow sandbar beach between Lake Ontario and North Bay, with fewer crowds than the sandy shores, shallow and warm water, and a family-friendly setting.
North Beach Provincial Park is at the western end of the county. A sandbar separates Lake Ontario from North Bay. On the lake side you can surf and splash in the water, and on the bay side you can go kayaking. Facilities are basic, the park is open for day use only, and camping is not allowed. It sees far fewer visitors than Sandbanks Provincial Park, making it a favorite alternative beach among locals. A Ontario Parks day pass is required and is charged per vehicle. On summer weekends, it is advisable to reserve online in advance. It is about a 15-minute drive from Wellington.
Opening hours
Summer approx. 08:00–21:00 (daytime only)
