The 2.5 hour bus trip leaves from downtown Toronto and stops at an enchanting waterfall as well as the cute beach town.

You'll find 7 kilometres of white sand shores and crystal water where you can take a dip and enjoy some tropical vibes.

The town is home to a variety of local stores and restaurants boasting clothing, ice cream and more.

Bus tour agency Parkbus is offering several day trips from Toronto to Sauble Beach this summer.

The bus departs from Toronto in the morning and stops at both Sauble Falls Provincial Park and Sauble Beach.
