Allenwood Beach Area - Wasaga Beach, Ontario

Honestly, for what you get in Barrie, come to this beach instead. Its worth the drive and worth the money. Beautiful and private beach that isn't riddled in senseless bylaws. Stunning views (see photos) Beautiful sand. And warmer waters than I have come across this summer and believe me I have visited quite a few locations especially on this trip. Parking costs are standard for these parts, and from the parking driveway to the beach is all sand. Come prepared for that. Bathrooms are clean enough (atleast during my stay) and the water is also pretty decent. Beyond the first layer of seashells the sand gets pretty nice and smooth. 10/10 highly recommend for a nice picnic by the waters. Please also respect the local atmosphere and NOT LITTER! The beach area is gorgeous especially for a sunset. Keep it that way as I plan to come back!

​A Terrible Experience at Allenwood Beach
​We went to Allenwood Beach hoping to find some peace and quiet, but unfortunately, we had a terrible experience. This beach, which is supposed to be relaxing, was completely taken over by noise and chaos.
​A group of Indian-origin people were playing music incredibly loud, which completely ruined the calm atmosphere for everyone. It was so bad that it gave us a severe headache. This kind of inconsiderate behavior and harassment of others in a public space is completely unacceptable.
​To make matters worse, these individuals completely disregarded local rules and lit a fire, even though there were signs clearly stating that fires are prohibited. This behavior not only shows a lack of respect for Canadian laws but also demonstrates that they are still operating with tribal customs and have no regard for the host community.
​Sadly, there were no patrol officers or law enforcement present to address the situation and enforce the rules. This shows a lack of proper management at the beach, allowing inconsiderate people to disrupt the peace and quiet of others with no consequences.
​If you are looking for a quiet, family-friendly spot, I absolutely do not recommend Allenwood Beach. It desperately needs better management and rule enforcement to ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors.

Very nice beach with a low number of people. The sun is great, and Georgian Bay is always amazing to swim in.

Very good beach. Clean. Safe for kids, but hard to find parking.

One of the best beaches I've been to for a while. Not busy at all even on a hot weekend. Best for people who don't know swimming as the water is not deep at all for around 200 meters, just waist high. I've also seen a lot of people with rafts, so would surely recommend it. Peaceful, nice sunset.

Edit: I went again on a very windy day and the waves were MASSIVE. There were many people who came and weren't able to get down. We had fun though, but be careful as the waves can drag you if they are too powerful.

Great spot to beach less traffic and noise to deal with. Parking was only issue if you dont go early enough finding one can be a challenge.

I almost dont want this out for it to get crowded

Beautiful beach and nicely situated. The general public was mindful of everyone's surroundings and seemed to keep the beach clean. Trash was disposed of and everyone cleaned up.
Parking was easy to find and the payment option was super easy to do, no app required. However pay the parking fee as soon as you get there, before you set up or take the kids to the restroom to avoid a ticket.
