The Longest Freshwater beach in the World

Stretching over 14 kilometers along the sparkling shores of Georgian Bay, Wasaga Beach offers something for everyone—from family-friendly beach days to quiet shoreline escapes. Divided into eight designated beach areas under Ontario Parks jurisdiction, each section offers unique features, amenities, and scenic views.

Whether you're swimming, sunbathing, or just soaking in the natural beauty, there's no better place to enjoy the water than right here in Wasaga Beach.
