Best sailing locations in Canada

There are so many places to go sailing in Canada, but here are some of the best in the country.

This area is located off the coast of British Columbia and offers an amazing view of the mountains. There is a gorgeous coastal rainforest with snow-capped mountain peaks jutting into the sky behind it and many people are attracted to this part of the country for the setting. You can also enjoy the marine life and excellent whale watching here.

The Rideau Canal is a popular place for visitors and many people love to sail in this area. It's a National Historic Site of Canada as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you'll find a series of gorgeous lakes and rivers that are tethered together by canals. You can wind your sailboat through the canals to take in some local sights and scenery and get a glimpse of some wildlife in the area.

The St. Lawrence River is one of the longest rivers in North America. It splits up the province of Quebec and grows quite wide in a few different places so that it almost feels like a lake. The river provides stunning views of the neighbouring towns and is a lovely place for people to take cruises and, of course, to sail. The Baie de Beauport is one of the most popular areas on the St. Lawrence River for sailors to come because of its calm waters and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

The Thousand Islands is a popular destination for anyone looking for a vacation outdoors. It's located right on the New York and Ontario border and is a gorgeous setting filled with woods and wildlife. It's known for the friendly and welcoming people in the area and for providing tons of excellent recreational opportunities. Sailing here will reward you with stunning views of bridges, castles and lush, green islands that you can weave around in your catamaran.

These are just a few of the popular sailing locations in Canada, but the country is filled with many more! It's worth exploring for yourself to find out.
