In the summer months, residents can enjoy several beaches including Minet’s Point Beach, Johnsons Beach, The Gables, Tyndale Beach, and Centennial Beach (which has a large playground). Wasaga Beach is very popular with residents and tourists alike. The paved waterfront trail is nearly 7 km long and is great for walking or biking, or cross country skiing in the winter. Boating is also very popular in Kempenfelt Bay and Lake Simcoe as it connects to the Trent Severn Waterway. Winter recreational activities include skiing, snow tubing or snowboarding at nearby Horseshoe Resort, Snow Valley, Mount St. Louis Moonstone and Blue Mountain, as well as snowmobiling and ice fishing.. The Elmvale Jungle Zoo, children’s theatre at Gryphon Theatre or Theatre by the Bay or skateboarding at the Queen’s Park Skate Park are all popular with children, as are numerous other local attractions such as farms, mini golf, go-karting, and bowling.
