Many city people like to head to Wasaga beaches Areas 1-6 for their well earned day at the beach. Having said that, your family may not want that “type” of beach day. If you are looking for other beaches besides Wasaga Beach for families… Lucky for you there are many smaller beaches and conservation areas for families throughout Southern Georgian Bay to explore.
