Sauble Beach was recently named one of the 'Top 10 Beaches in the World' by the Toronto Star.
With four kilometers of pristine sandy beach, Sauble Beach is the second longest freshwater beach in the world! With that much beach, there's lots of room to bring the family and spread out! Swim, surf, kiteboard, SUP, jet ski, build castles, play volleyball or visit the famous Piping Plovers.
When you get hungry, there are many great eating places in walking distance and lots of shops to pop in along the way.
Whatever you do, be sure to finish your day with a calm walk along the beach at dusk with some of the best sunsets you'll see anywhere!
Sauble Beach is a beautiful place to visit, relax and enjoy the sun, sand and surf.
There is a Sauble Beach By-Law in place to ensure that everyone enjoys their time on Sauble Beach. This by-law is strictly enforced with zero tolerance. If you are violating the by-law you will be ticketed. Please note that by-law set fines are subject to change and may not be as listed with the by-law.
