Is there a beach near Blue Mountain?
Yes. The closest public beach is Northwinds Beach in Craigleith, about 2.5 km from the base of the hill: a sand beach on Georgian Bay with a playground, a washroom and a paid parking lot, open from 6 AM to 10 PM. Guests of Tyrolean Village also have a private sandy beach on Georgian Bay, a 5 to 7 minute drive from the chalets, which is not open to the public.

Good to know about the public beach
Parking at Northwinds Beach is paid and enforced, and the lot can fill on a hot weekend. The Town does not allow tents or barbecues at any of its beaches or parks. With a chalet a few minutes away, the easy plan is the beach in the morning and lunch back on your own deck, where there is a barbecue from May 1 to October 31.
Why the private beach matters for a group
A group of 14 or 20 takes up a lot of a public beach and several parking spaces. Ours is reserved for Tyrolean guests, so there is room to spread out, and nobody is circling for parking. That is why it suits family reunions in summer. Ask us for directions when you check in.
