Even though Canada is known for its winters, its pristine beaches and warm waters attract many tourists during summertime. Thanks to its vast topography, the country has a load of attractions for nature lovers. Its spellbinding waterfalls, sublime lakes, and pine-clad forests are some of its best features. For instance, places like Vancouver and Chaleur Bay are abundant with unblemished beaches and coves. The country also features thriving wildlife and marine life such as the whales, which you can watch right from beach houses. Whether you’re planning a solo retreat or a family vacation this summer, for a relaxing stay, check out our list of top beach houses in Canada.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to beach.
