Wasaga Beach Area 3

Wasaga Beach is a pet-friendly stretch of sand in Ontario. The area includes the Provincial Park office and a dog-friendly area. The beach is heavily patrolled by the Ministry of Natural Resources staff and they are dead serious about keeping dogs away from the other beach areas. There are few views in the area as gorgeous as the entire shore with the Blue Mountains in the distance. The water is deep blue and ideal for a quick doggy paddle. Visit Website

    Most lame “dog beach” ever…area 3 can indeed be accessed by dogs but I wouldn’t call it “dog-friendly”. The sand is nice, parking is expensive - like everywhere in town - and the water is great. However, dogs are not allowed off-leash under any circumstances. This means you cannot even play fetch in the water while off-leash; and this applies at all times, no exception. I think it would be time for the town to adapt and create a section - maybe fenced somehow - where dogs can roam free (all-day) and also open specific times/days (e.g.; downtime; 7pm to 7am; Mon-Thu) where dogs can roam free in other locations. Obviously it would not hurt to mention that reactive/agressive dogs are not allowed and that people should “poop and scoop”. With the proper tools, dog owners are generally very respectful. I’ve see these concepts being applied in California and it worked great.

    Good park

    very nice in the summer it’s pretty packed the only bad thing is dogs are not allowed off leash which I think they should change but I have seen quite a few reactive dogs there so it’s best to bring a long line if you want your dog to really run around but in the summer pretty much every spot there is taken so you have to come earlier or later in the day

    Good Beach

    Easy to access, free Parking from Monday to Thursday. Washrooms available. Water is dark but great sand. Gucci, our dog was more than welcome on section 3. We were with the regular people and did not go in the reserved section for dogs, which we saw too late. Nobody said anything and people were pleased to see our Gucci boy 🐶.

    Awful Beach

    Went to Wasaga beach this weekend with my dog and went to the dog friendly portion of Wasaga Beach. There was no beach front and you had to climb down from a hill to access the water. The sand was dirty and was covered in black sludge. You had to wade past the black sludge to access the beach. Since I had kids with me, we decided to leave the dog beach and go to the regular beach. Even though it was ridiculously hot and my dog is very friendly we were not allowed in the water with him (even on a leash). Terrible!
