Visit One of Vacay.ca’s Top 10 Beaches in Canada
After raising your heart rate with a thrilling day on the roller coasters, why not take a ride where you can chill and relax at one of Canada’s favourite beaches? Vacay.ca published its “Top 10 Beaches in Canada” list this week in time for summer, and Wasaga Beach in the Georgian Bay region of Ontario came in at No. 2. Singing Sands, Basin Head Provincial Park, Souris, PEI was the best overall beach on the list.
Vacay.ca report: Wasaga Beach, Ontario
Location: 134 kilometres north of Toronto
Website: www.wasagabeach.com/tourism.index.gk
Interesting Facts: In 2007, a major fire ripped through the main street pedestrian mall of this beach town in the Georgian Bay region. The blaze destroyed several businesses and damaged the lucrative tourism industry. It was a difficult time for the community but Wasaga Beach has hardly missed a beat since renovations were completed. Wasaga Beach is uniquely situated. The bustling beach city, which may be the closest thing Canada has to anything resembling Daytona Beach or Fort Lauderdale, is located between two UNESCO Biosphere Reserves — the Georgian Bay Littoral and Niagara Escarpment.
Why This Beach Rocks: For high school students from the surrounding areas, Wasaga is the ultimate hangout and the place to go for good times. Wasaga is the world’s longest freshwater beach (14 km). The provincial park that bears its name has eight beach areas. Great events throughout the year include the Wasaga Beach Fest (June 22-23), Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival (May 21 to October 15), and Wasaga Beach Blues Fest (September 13-15).
