Sandy Beach

Follow a gravel road and a path lined with dunes and fragile plants to this 1km white-sand beach on Michipicoten Bay, where Group of Seven member AY Jackson once painted. It's best accessed from Hwy 17 south of Wawa through Michipicoten and is a 5km drive north until you see the sign for Sandy Beach Rd.
