Ontario may not have access to snow-capped mountains or ocean waves, but its natural wonders are nothing short of spectacular. In fact, you may not know that Sauble Beach and Wasaga Beach are the longest freshwater beaches in the world.
Wasaga Beach spans 14 kilometres at the end of Ontario’s Georgian Bay, with views of the Niagara Escarpment.
Sauble Beach is a 7-kilometre stretch of pristine sand along the shore of Lake Huron.
Both towns are considered some of the most popular summertime destinations in the province, not only for their sandy shorelines but also for their attractions and activities.
