Latest reviews on Ontario's beaches

McKenzie Beach
8 Kellan Rennix

This beach is a great spot to bring the kids for some fun. However, the waterfront had a few weeds.

Council Beach
10 Sarina Devi Kaur

We were trying to find our way to the Blue Mountains when Google led us to Council Beach. We ended up on the road and had to pull over to the right, where we found a small sandy area with swings for children to play on. There were only two cars and a few other people who seemed to have stumbled upon the beach like we did. 😄

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
