Wasaga Beach immediately brings to mind miles and miles of white sand and blue, blue water. And appropriately so as it is home to the worlds longest freshwater beach which stretches out over 14 kms! Over two million visitors a year come from around the world to play in this vibrant community, where extreme sports unleash next door to quiet sand dunes and nature preserves.

But there is so much more to this town and it appears that the secret has leaked out. According to the 2001 census, Wasaga Beach is Ontario ’s fastest growing community and the fourth fastest growing community in Canada. Once known only for its seasonal cottages, "The Beach” now boasts many newer home subdivisions and prestigious residential estate neighbourhoods. The town appeals to families, commuters and to retirees who have escaped the city. No longer just a resort town, the Wasaga Beach of today is an established community with a wide range of services and amenities including a commercial sector that is quickly developing to meet the demands of the growing population.

Population: 14,000 full-time plus 16,000 part-time
