Sauble Beach is one of the longest freshwater beaches in the world (11 km), on the east shore of Lake Huron, south of the Bruce Peninsula. The spot faces west with enormous fetch across Lake Huron. Sunsets over the lake are spectacular. Popular summer resort with many festivals. One of the best kite spots on Lake Huron thanks to the fetch and dominant W wind.
