Sick of lying on the beach? Why not grab a paddle and head out in a kayak? Kayaking is a great way to enjoy your Blue Flag beach from a different perspective!

If you want to have a great open water experience, check out Free Spirit Tours near Wasaga Beach and head out on the Blue Flag-certified waters of Georgian Bay for a sea kayaking experience.
 
If you're in Toronto, head down to Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Center for one of their kayak lessons and paddle over to Toronto Islands which boast four Blue Flag beaches. If you’re already an experienced paddler, join in a paddle and BBQ evening hosted every Wednesday evening and get a chance to kayak around Toronto Island and enjoy the beach before you head back to shore for a barbecue with fellow-paddlers.
 
Craving a harbour experience mixed with some open water? Check out the kayaking experiences around Halifax. You can explore the harbour or head out to one of the tours that will take you on open water near Halifax harbour.
