Parque Provincial de Sandbanks
3004 County Road 12Beautiful North Beach Provincial Park has a ribbon of sand over one-kilometer long that shelters tiny North Beach from Lake Ontario. The sandy beach is a great place to picnic on a summer day or take a stroll. Swim or boat in the sheltered waters of the bay or the more open Lake Ontario.
This park is a quieter park than its more famous neighbour – Sandbanks. Visitors to North Beach may see hawks, saw-whet owls or turkey vultures. Anglers visiting North Beach could catch largemouth bass, northern pike, perch and sunfish.
North Beach offers 1,200 metres of sandy beach facing Lake Ontario and another 800 metres of sand beach on North Bay. Waters drop off gradually on the lake side and steeply on the bay side. There is a small canteen where park souvenirs and traditional fast food and beverages can be purchased. It is located along the Park’s main road.
North Beach is known to locals to have a strong undertow, especially during windy days. Please use caution, know your swimming abilities, and practice water safety. Flotation devices are available for free day use at the gatehouse.
*As of 2021, advanced reservations are required and can be booked five days in advance by visiting the parks webpage.
