So you know about the beach, it’s right in the town’s name, so it’s has be good, but what else can you do at Sauble Beach? Here’s a few ideas;

1. Water sports – we’ll get the obvious out of the way first. Getting out onto the water is so easy it should be taken advantage of as often as possible. Pick up a rental – surfboard, SUP board, kayak, jet ski, paddleboat, etc., and hit the water! 
2. Ascent Aerial Park for those brave explorers. Here you’ll find a 40-foot rock wall as well as a 40-foot free fall and three levels of rope obstacles which vary in difficulty the higher you go. You’ll also be able to take a ride on Canada’s first and only zip coaster or try your hand at axe throwing.
3. Visit Sauble Speedway during the summer on Saturday nights to cheer on the Thunder Cars, Four Cylinders and of course – lawnmowers! Just a little outside of town, but worth the drive.
4. Sauble Falls Provincial Park can be found on the north end of town and is one of the few waterfalls in Bruce County. This park is perfect for picnics, watching the steelheads swim up the falls in the spring and the overhanging trees and the tiered waterfall make for a perfect Kodak moment.

After all the fun in the sun, you need to fuel up and there are options around every corner, from some of the best burgers around to homemade pizza and tacos, finding food isn’t going to be your problem – it’ll be choosing!

1. Beach Burger is where you can find the traditional burger, but also where you can find the juiciest burger topped with Pineapple. Located right on Main Street, you can see the Sauble Sign from their front patio.
2. Casero Taco Bus treats your tastebuds to a bounty of flavours and you’ll want to keep going back! Also on Main Street, you’ll be looking for the parked double decker bus – just follow your nose.
3. Two Chick’s Café is just around the corner on 2nd Ave N and here you’ll be able to pick up a Smoothie from the smoothie bar or some traditional Indian cuisine!

Being on the beach you may not want to leave, so here are places that you just need to cross the road for!

1. Rustic Pizza caters to all your pizza needs, cooking them fresh every day with a variety of toppings. Grab a box and bring it to your beach towel because they are just steps from the beach.
2. Sola’s boasts the only dinner patio with a unobstructed view of the beach, from their stone pizza oven to the classic favourites – everything comes with a side serving of a stunning view!
3. Stonehouse has one of the best breakfasts in town and just a hop, skip and a jump away from the beach, you’ll be fueled up and rearing to go play all day in the sun after polishing off their Eggs Benedict or blueberry pancakes.
