Considering how cold the winters can be, talking of Ontario beaches may seem counter-intuitive but Ontario has great beaches and most of them aren't crowded, even in the hottest summers.
The biggest is Wasaga Beach, the world's largest freshwater beach, on Georgian Bay - about 2 hours drive north from Toronto. Wasaga's almost seven miles of golden sand are generally full once school is out and, because of its popularity, it has all the amenities beachgoers want. Wasaga is the place teenagers come to party. It's so big and busy it's been divided into alphabetical zones, each with its own parking and refreshments plazas.
Another great beach, this time more family-oriented, is Sauble Beach on Lake Huron, voted the best in Ontario only a few years ago. Its paler, finer, sand is a great for younger kids, while the famous sunsets over Lake Huron provide the romance their parents still desire. Sauble Beach is about 3 hours drive north-west from Toronto, on a regular day. Also on Lake Huron, but farther south, is Grand Bend, another popular resort town and a great beach.
Another popular beach area with the teen crowd is the Sandbanks Provincial Park near Brighton in the Quinte region. Sandbanks is on Lake Ontario and is easily reached from Highway 401, Ontario's principal motorway/freeway, heading east from Toronto. It's generally a two hour drive but in the summer, with everyone heading to their cottages, allow more time. Sandbanks and Cobourg beaches (where they hold an annual Sandcastle Festival in August) are also probably the easiest beaches to reach from the 401, though some of the Lake Erie beaches are pretty good that way too.
Speaking of Lake Erie beaches, another popular beach with Ontarians, and Americans from the Buffalo area, is Crystal Beach near Fort Erie. This has been a busy vacation destination for a century or more. Today, it's quieter. Cottages and homes line the beach and the big attractions of yester-year are gone.
Crystal Beach is only one of many fine beaches on the north shore of Lake Erie. Others are at Port Stanley and Port Dover. These two holiday towns are connected by the Talbot Trail, which runs along the old pioneer route from the Niagara region out to Windsor in the west. The Talbot Trail is still a pleasant drive and there are many more beaches along the way. One of the most famous of the stop off points is Point Pelee National Park and off the point is Pelee Island, which has its own fine beach - East Beach. Note: The ferry to Pelee Island leaves from Leamington and Kingsville not Pelee Point.
With thousands of lakes and bordering four of the Great Lakes, Ontario has too many beaches to list them all. It's safe to say most Ontario lake holiday locations have good beaches and most are open to the public. Even places that used to be but are no longer vacation destinations, Oshawa and Pickering for example, still have popular beaches and parks at the waterfront.

Baseball in South Bend $10.37 The national pastime began to take root in South Bend in the 1860s when teams like the Hoosiers, Excelsiors, and Rough-and-Readys took the field to the delight of local fans. By 1878, the legendary South Bend Greenstocking had arrived on the scene, winning the mythical Indiana State Baseball Championship and establishing the nickname of choice for South Bend baseball for years to come. The following decades saw the rising popularity of not only minor league baseball but also barnstorming teams, indoor baseball, factory leagues, and men's and women's amateur leagues. This rich baseball heritage is carried on today by the South Bend SilverHawks of the Class-A Midwest League. |
