Wasaga Beach.

Wasaga Beach Provincial Park stewards the world's longest freshwater beach — roughly 14 km of continuous Georgian Bay sand at the mouth of the Nottawasaga River, divided by the Town into six numbered Beach Areas (Beach Area 1 the historical commercial main strip with the boardwalk; Beach Areas 5 and 6 the quieter River Mouth and Allenwood end). The park is day-use only, and the same boundary that holds the strand also holds the Nancy Island Historic Site — the burnt hull of HMS Nancy, sunk in the lower Nottawasaga in August 1814 — and the Wasaga Nordic & Trails Centre at Blueberry Plains, where Ontario Parks grooms more than 30 km of classic and skate cross-country ski trails inside a broader 50+ km ski/snowshoe network.
