Attractions

Beach Area 1

Beach area 1 is the busiest beach area in the community.  It is home to many shops, restaurants and this is also the site of many of Wasaga Beach’s Special Events where you’ll find everything from triathlons, Corvette Weekend (Beach Cruize), vintage auto displays to Kitefest and Fireworks.

But Wasaga Beach Provincial Park has eight beach areas (entry fees for vehicles only), each with its own washrooms, change facilities and picnic tables. As a rule, the farther west you go, the quieter and less crowded the beaches become. Families stake out picnic tables and set up camp for the day, building sand castles, reading paperbacks and relaxing in the sun. As for Nottawasaga Bay itself, remember that you can wade out quite a distance in the shallow water and sandbars, making it ideal for children.

Main Street Mall
Browse through the Main Street Mall for bargains on swimwear, beach toys, souvenirs and more!  Spend time at the Arcade or brave the Haunted House.  The Main Street Mall is alive with activity in the summer months.

Wasaga Beach Provincial Park
Within the Town of Wasaga Beach is a Provincial Park, 14 km in length, consisting of 350 acres of beach and picnic areas.  There are six gated beach areas (areas 1-6) and two ungated beach areas (Allenwood and New Wasaga Beach).  While provincial cutbacks eliminated the Beach Patrol Program some years ago in Wasaga Beach, teams consisting of a qualified lifeguard and a Park warden patrol the beach daily on ATV’s and mountain bikes. A patrol boat augments these teams providing safe surroundings for a visit to the beach.

Wasaga Nordic Centre
The 30 kilometre Wasaga Nordic Trails are located in the 500 hectare dunes area of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. The combination of raised beach ridges and swales, various sand dune features and rare plant life make this area unique in Ontario.  It is highly sensitive to human disturbances and therefore has been set aside as a nature reserve zone of the park.

The Dunes
Enjoy spectacular scenery and explore the riverside trails. The pristine beauty of this area of Wasaga Beach is almost a secret, even among locals! You’ll need a map to find the dunes as they are hidden behind a residential neighbourhood.
