Extending eleven kilometres along the shore of Lake Huron, Sauble Beach is the world's second longest freshwater beach. It's a dream come true if you and your family are looking for sunny beaches and sand.

As well as affording the possibility of relaxation on its sandy shore, Sauble Beach offers a variety of sporting activities. You can choose between windsurfing, fishing, canoeing and kayaking amongst others. At the end of the day, you're likely to be rewarded with a breath-taking sunset, as the beach faces west. Birdwatchers should plan their holiday for May or June, when the area is visited by several species of warblers: black-throated, green, yellow-rumped and parula. When you want a break from the beach, why not take a walk and admire the delightful rural gardens in the area? You might also want to time your visit to coincide with the annual salmon run at Sauble Falls.
