Located two hours north of Toronto is the largest freshwater beach in the world, Wasaga Beach, in the province of Ontario. This summer tourist destination has almost 9 miles of waterfront sand on Nottawasaga Bay and welcomes more than 2 million visitors. On TripAdvisor, we have dozens of cottages available for rent in Wasaga Beach, some even right on the lake. Here’s a little bit more about the area:

On the Georgian Bay, Wasaga Beach Provincial Park is a family friendly and extremely fun getaway in the summertime. The beach is divided into six smaller beaches, so if you would like to steer clear of tourists and crowds who flock to Beach 1 and 2, make your way to Beaches 4 or 5 for a more private and quiet afternoon. There is ample shopping near the Main Beach area, and watersports to keep your family busy for days. On Tuesday evenings during July and August you can enjoy a free Jazz concert at the new RecPlex gazebo and shop at our outdoor marketplace. On Thursday evenings, enjoy Picnics in the Park at Nancy Island Historic Site.
