Horseshoe Beach

Horseshoe Beach, located within Pukaskwa National Park, is an incredible secluded gem on the stunning shores of Lake Superior. As Pukaskwa describes it, at Horseshoe Beach “Lake Superior laps against a crescent of golden sand secluded by boreal forest and flanked with rolling granite. Smooth driftwood scatters the shore. Sandcastles beg to be built.”

Known as the secret paradise of Pukaskwa, you will venture past the Hattie Cove Campground and follow the all-accessible boardwalk through the northern pines and luscious canopies, emerging onto a golden sandy shore where the waves of Lake Superior greet your welcome. As the day is closing and the sun begins to set on the horizon, try taking a hike on the Southern Headland Trail or the Manito Miikana to see the most unbelievable sunset that will have you and your family and friends discussing it forever more.

Whether you’re at Pukaskwa National Park staying, wanting relaxation among the crashing Lake Superior waves, an exciting swim in the cool waters, or to be by the nature that only the north shore of the Great Lake can offer, Horseshoe Beach in Pukaskwa National Park will have you ready to come back for more.
