Sauble Beach Tourism

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. Lake Francis Cottages is located 20 minutes from Sauble Beach. Visitors to Lake Francis Cottages take full advantage of a year-round, four-season, outdoor playground, whether they are snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, golfing, fishing, boating/canoeing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, dog sledding, sightseeing, swimming, bird watching, rock climbing, or simply relaxing by their own campfire while gazing at the Milky Way or perhaps even the Northern Lights.  We have created lists of things to do for Owen Sound Tourism, Sauble Beach Tourism, Georgian Bay - Lake Huron vacation destinations! We are located at the base of the beautiful Bruce Peninsula, a very unique and special area which is home to one of the world’s Unesco Biospheres, the Niagara Escarpment, with its towering limestone cliffs, ancient cedars, and rare plant life.

Snow-Cross Races In Owen Sound

Snowcross

Members of the East Side Snowmobile Club got together  Tuesday night and decided to postpone the event because there simply isn’t enough snow at Victoria Park in Owen Sound. It was scheduled for  January 16th and 17th. Race co-chair Peter Van Dolder says as a result, they have decided to move the Snow-cross races to the weekend of January 30th and 31st this year.Van Dolder says they rely on the city and private contractors to dump snow at Victoria Park in front of the grandstand, but at this time only a handful of trucks had unloaded there this winter. About 500 truckloads of snow is needed to make a good race track and he is confident there will be enough snow on hand by the end of January. Van Dolder says fortunately there was an opening in the Snow-cross schedule, so racers should be able to come to Owen Sound January 30th and 31st. Make it a Great getaway weekend with friends and stay at Lake Francis Cottages located 15 minutes from the venue.
