Canatara
Why hit the beach at Canatara Park?
The sandy beach located within Sarnia’s Canatara Park stretches nearly a kilometer along the shore of Lake Huron near the mouth of the St. Clair River. This urban beach has plenty of kid-friendly activities and is close to any urban comforts you might require. Just how great is this beach? Canatara Beach is one of only 27 in Canada to have earned official Blue Flag status for its commitment to strict water quality and safety criteria.
The beach also features mats to make the beach more accessible to people using wheelchairs or strollers.
