Providence Bay Beach

Set on a long curving bay facing Lake Huron, this is arguably the best beach on the island. The sand is soft and tawny, the water calm, and it's backed by sand dunes, tall grasses and a well-maintained boardwalk trail. If you're yearning for beach time, this is the place to be.
