Terrace Bay Beach is an incredible natural landscape of Superior sandy shoreline and fresh clear waters for the hearty swimmer. The town is currently constructing a boardwalk and working with Parks Canada to build a welcoming and more accessible pavilion and waterfront area for tourism. There are hiking trails and boat launches provided with docks for seaward visitors.

Great beach set up all around. Low key and open area....nice easy boardwalk for a stroll. Plenty of parking, and sitting areas. Clear water and lots of sandy areas to take up some space and chill. Building has public washrooms and there is a boat launch there as well.

The Terrace Bay Beach was a gorgeous stop with clean, sandy beaches, an elevated walkway and plenty of parking. The day was windy and produced small white-capped waves which makes soothing white noise that would be great for meditation. The beach is a short drive from Highway 17 and the road is paved and well-travelled.
