Sandbanks Provincial Park – Lake Ontario, Ontario
Submitted by Joanne T, Carmen C and Sumit G.
A favourite for good reason! Giant dunes and golden beaches form one of the largest baymouth sandbars in the world. Sandbanks is the perfect place to soak up some sun, then cool off with a refreshing dip in Lake Ontario.

Where can you find miles of beautiful, clean beach? Sauble Beach, on the shores of Lake Huron is a vacationers’ paradise. The beach side town is charming too, relatively untouched for the past 50 years.

None can be compared to the most magical place in Ontario Bruce Peninsula provincial park, the Indian Cove beach and Grotto.

The Pinery is one of my faves!
