Wasaga Beach Area 6

Lovely expansive shoreline, generally pristine depending on the number of visitors. During quieter times, one can take leisurely strolls or bring a lounger to bask in the sun (weather permitting). The water is clear, ideal for swimming in the heat of summer or for jet skiing. Large crowds on weekends can lead to overcrowding and diminish the experience, making weekdays the optimal time to visit.

Great destination for a summer getaway. Our visit to Beach 6 was fantastic, providing the perfect setting to relax and bond with loved ones.

Update - abundant algae along the shore and has a foul odor. I have included videos. June 25, 2023. Being the lengthiest freshwater beach in Canada 🇨🇦, it is worth a visit. After numerous visits over the years, I must say that this year there is a peculiar dark film along the water's edge emitting an unpleasant smell. The reason behind this remains unknown, but it is quite unpleasant. Despite this, Beach 1 is perfect for lively young crowds, shopping, and a wide variety of dining options including fast food and, of course, ice cream. I believe Beach 3 or 4 is dog-friendly, so we tend to avoid those to prevent getting sand sprayed on us. The parking lots cost around $20 per day. The breathtaking views and usually pleasant breeze help keep bugs at bay. For those unfamiliar with the area, the water remains shallow for a considerable distance, making it warmer than other lakes and bays in the vicinity. This makes it ideal for children and playing frisbee in the water on hot days. Enjoy!

Definitely the most cherished memories of Wasaga. I spent my childhood summers here. Due to Covid, it had been a while since my last visit, but it was a fantastic weekend! This year, there is an actual beach compared to 2019 when the water level was so high that there was no sand. We prefer Beach ⛱️ 5 or 6 as it is much quieter and less crowded than Beach 1. Families can be seen building sandcastles and enjoying the water with their floaties, paddleboards, or boogie boards. The sand is white and hot, and if you're lucky, you might find some small shells 🐚. The water is incredible! It felt like a warm bath. Wasaga is renowned for its water and beach. As you venture into the deep water, you will encounter some sand dunes. The water gradually gets deeper until it becomes shallow, then deepens again. It's my favorite beach ⛱️. I will definitely be returning! There is ample parking close to the beach, the washrooms are decent, and it costs about $18 to park for the day.

During our brief visit to this beach, we found it to be incredibly enjoyable despite the chilly weather preventing us from fully immersing ourselves in the water. Nevertheless, the serene and tranquil atmosphere of the place was truly remarkable. If you happen to be exploring the Blue Mountains, I highly recommend including a stop at this nearby and stunning location in your itinerary.
