Barrie Sunsets

Barrie sunsets are some of the nicest in Ontario...Sunsets change as the season changes as the colour of the water of Lake simcoe along Kempenfelt Bay may show a green or a deep blue as the sunsets behind the City of Barrie and the twinkling night lights begin to shine along the shoreline.

Minets Point Windsurfing

For many serious windsurfers Minets Point in Barrie has been a favorite spot to pick up the winds off Kempenfelt Bay... and head out towards the Oro shoreline of Lake Simcoe and back to Barrie. Many windsurfers make this a year round adventure and convert their summer boards to winter boards when the ice forms.
