Sauble Beach was recently named one of the 'Top 10 Beaches in the World' by the Toronto Star.

With seven 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 is in place to ensure that everyone enjoys their time on Sauble Beach. Sauble Beach is also a paid parking area. Below are subject areas to assist you in having a great visit to Sauble.
