You Should Visit Balm Beach





























It's like stepping back into the 1930's and 40's. It is delightful, safe, quaint and tiny (no pun intended as it is located in Tiny Township on Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada) - and it's tiny, but it's beachy-mighty! (I posted about it last June here) What a perfect location for a family picnic! Balm Beach is just a short, happy, meandering drive away from Wasaga Beach; you will love peeping at all the beach houses and cottages. We love to go to the world famous Georgian Grill. It has been a shore side restaurant and family arcade since 1934. You'll enjoy delicious homemade (yes truly!) burgers and poutine and onion rings to kill for. Top off the fun with a soft-serve ice cream cone. (see full menu here) The price is so right (affordable) and guess what? - my flag art hangs in there too! For nostalgic family fun that's been a tradition for generations visit Balm Beach soon! You can see a gallery of images here and a gallery of history here.

Hi Patti! I love your photos of Balm Beach. We were there earlier this month having dinner on the last night of our Georgian Bay getaway (we live in Ohio). I found your blog when we were looking for dinner possibilities. I wrote about you & your blog when I did an article on Balm Beach on my travel blog.

Cheers! ~ Milli

The only problem with Balm Beach are the old pieces of sh*t that ruin peoples time. The other day one of these pieces of work decided that the dog law was that no dogs are allowed on the beach, and continued to harras not only myself but my girlfriend. The only law is poop and scoop and maintaining a leash on the dog, don't let some old jerk push you around and if he does, tell him to go f*ck himself, for me :)
