Sun, water and sand. There is still time before autumn, and if you have not managed to relax in a cottage this season, either your own or rented, now is the time to enjoy a vacation on the lake shore.

Wasaga Beach
The popular Wasaga Beach area offers all the opportunities for this.
As Canadian tourist guides assure, the 14-kilometer sandy beach along the shores of Georgian Bay is the longest of the freshwater beaches in the world, and attracts a huge number of vacationers.g
Therefore, for greater convenience, it is divided into six smaller beaches. The most crowded are usually numbers 1 and 2, but if you want to relax in quieter places, it is better to choose beaches number 4 or 5.
But one way or another, on any of them you will be offered a wide selection of sports equipment for rent, from stand-up paddleboards to various watercraft.
On land, there's plenty to do for active recreation enthusiasts: Wasaga Adventure Park, spread over 50 acres, features mini golf and paintball, a go-kart track, and even an axe-throwing range!
And if you want to exercise your intellect, there are the now fashionable escape rooms - "find the exit".
For the most daring, there's the opportunity to take a paragliding flight over the waters of the bay, at speeds of up to 200 km/h, and admire the fantastic panorama of the surrounding area.

peace.

It is good here for lovers of kayaking and canoeing, and, of course, for fishermen.
