Sauble Beach Tourism
Located on Lake Huron, beautiful Sauble Beach boasts 11 kilometres of white sand, making it the second-longest freshwater beach in the world and sparking comparisons to the beaches of the Mediterranean! Created by unique sandbar deposits that make the water shallow and warm, the sand dunes at Sauble Beach are part of an ecosystem that has evolved over thousands of years. The dunes are home to many rare and unique plants, grasses, and birds. Sauble Beach sunsets are some of the best in the world! Wave action creates a lot of fun, but they can sometimes be quite large, so be aware with young children. Bicycles and jet skis are available for rent, or play mini golf, go on water trampolines, visit the arcade or amusement park, or enjoy the many restaurants and unique shops. Hourly and daily paid parking is in effect along the beach, some side streets, and in the municipal lots. Public washrooms are available.
