The Uncovered Beach Bum Guide – Part 1
Allenwood
Tucked away just north of Wasaga, Allenwood is a quiet spot off the main strip with plenty of sights, and sand.

You can find Allenwood at the end of Eastdale drive, in Wasaga Beach. It’s not far from Wasaga Adventure park, and it’s quiet enough that you can find a secluded spot or two for a picnic. Or a reading nook.

With a typically stunning lake view, Allenwood is an ideal destination for an afternoon on the water. And it’s a picturesque location to fill your Insta reels with summer selfie shots.
Further back, you’ll find a spread of trees to offer enough to shade to stave off a sunburn.
