Beaches

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.

Notice: These Town-owned cameras are here for your viewing enjoyment. From time to time, a camera may take a short break due to maintenance, a technical hiccup, or something temporarily blocking the view. We check the cameras daily and work to get things back up and running as quickly as possible during regular business hours.

Environmental Stewardship in Action

As part of Destination Wasaga, the Town has introduced new measures to protect the natural shoreline, sensitive ecosystems, and endangered wildlife that make Wasaga Beach unique. Discover how environmental stewardship is being built into the future of the waterfront and beachfront experience.
