The small community of Wasaga Beach along the Nottawasaga Bay in the Georgian
Bay, 1.5 hours north of Toronto,
is known largely for its spectacular shoreline. Dubbed the longest freshwater
beach in the world, the sands are credited to Ice Age glaciers that melted,
leaving an astounding 14 km (9 mi) shoreline. In 1934, Wasaga Beach was made
famous when the first Canadian overseas flight took off from its sandy runway.
The relatively quiet community sheds its reputation during the summer as visitors
flock in search of fun, sun and sand. Winter’s blanket of snow is welcomed by
cross country skiers and snowmobile enthusiasts. As well, the shoulder seasons
of spring and summer provide visitors with tranquil stargazing moments, serene
beach walks and off-season value on accommodations. When in the area, a trip
to the Nancy
Island Historic Site is worthwhile. This island located on Nottawasaga
River was amazingly formed by the silt deposits of the sunken Schooner Nancy,
a British supply ship in the War of 1812.
