farms. Wasaga Beach is the world's longest freshwater beach (14km or 8.5 miles). It is approximately 2 hours north of downtown Toronto and abuts, to the west,
the resort town of Collingwood. Its position on the waters of Nottawasaga Bay means its summer temperatures are moderated somewhat by the water, so summer
days are much more comfortable than Toronto's scorching days, but the same winds off the water trigger very heavy and intense snow squalls in the winter.
As such, snowmobiling, skiing, and other winter sports are extremely popular along the beach.
Wasaga Beach is currently in the midst of a building boom. It was reported in The Globe and Mail on August 16, 2007 that a major development for the beach
was planned with the goal of making Wasaga Beach a year-round tourist destination.

in the Beach.
Also located in the town of Wasaga Beach is Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. In the summer months it is a very popular place for beach volleyball and sunbathing.
There are six public beach areas numbered from 1 to 6; the higher the number, the smaller and less crowded it gets and the more rocks on the shore there are.
In the winter there are many miles of fresh groomed trails for snowmobiling thanks to the OFSC and in part to the purchasers of the trail passes. There are a
