Some people from other countries think that Canada is all about snow and the cold, so when I tell them that Canada has beaches too, they are always surprised. They don’t know that Canada is a very different place in the summer time. In fact, Canada has a lot of surprisingly nice and fun beaches, so if your travel plans have been affected by COVID19 and are unable to travel internationally to destinations such as Bali, Thailand, the Caribbean or other international destinations, then perhaps now is the perfect time to explore some of the best beaches in Canada. Also, if you feel that a certain beach should be on this list and it is not, let us know in the comments section.
