Newfoundland and Labrador, Burgeo - Sandbanks Provincial Park - An expansive beachfront makes for great birdwatching (sandpipers and plovers in particular), and rock and forest aren't that far away, in the form of the Annieopsquotch Mountains. The area is both beautiful and secluded. Check out the old cemetery, a reminder that this is where one of the area's first churches stood. Have you ever visited this beach?

Northwest Territories, Deline - Great Bear Lake - Believe it or not, Canada's northernmost "Great Lake," Great Bear, has plenty of sandy shoreline. And since it straddles the Arctic Circle, you can enjoy the brilliant summer sunshine 24 hours per day. (Just think about that tan.) It is the largest lake entirely in Canada, the fourth-largest in North America, and the eighth-largest in the world. Have you ever visited this beach?

Ontario, Wasaga Beach - Wasaga Beach Provincial Park - This popular stretch of shore on Georgian Bay plays host to over a million people each year at its eight beaches. The Blue-Flag-rated spot has great water, sand and sun, and people watching. Beaches One and Two are livelier (think lifeguard championships and soap-box derbies), while the rest offer more family-friendly amenities and playgrounds. At 14 km long, it's touted as the world's longest freshwater beach. Have you ever visited this beach?
