The Longest Freshwater Beach in the World

Whether you're swimming, sunbathing, taking in a free concert under the stars, or just taking in the natural beauty, there's no better place to celebrate summer than Wasaga Beach.

Notice: These Town-owned cameras are here for your viewing enjoyment. From time to time, a camera may take a short break due to maintenance, a technical hiccup, or something temporarily blocking the view. We check the cameras daily and work to get things back up and running as quickly as possible during regular business hours.
Environmental Stewardship in Action
As part of Destination Wasaga, the Town has introduced new measures to protect the natural shoreline, sensitive ecosystems, and endangered wildlife that make Wasaga Beach unique. Discover how environmental stewardship is being built into the future of the waterfront and beachfront experience.
Beach Water Testing #HaveFunBeSafe
Beach water quality is like the weather: it changes all the time. That's why it is important to check water quality every time you plan a trip to the beach. The Town tests water quality regularly. Temporary Swim Advisories are precautionary and can happen from time to time when conditions such as heat, waves, rainfall or heavy use affect water quality.
