SHANTY BAY
This tight-knit community will quickly win you over with its quaint, definition-of-small-town charm.
SHANTY BAY
Shanty Bay gets its name from the small shanty town that formed around refugees fleeing slavery in America. That once small settlement has transformed into a picture-perfect lakeside town for those who want their cottage lifestyle with urban amenities.
Minutes from north Barrie, Shanty Bay is surrounded by the blue waters of Georgian Bay, acres of open farmland, and several great green golf courses. This tight-knit community will quickly win you over with its quaint, definition-of-small-town charm. It’s only a short drive to enjoy all of Barrie’s dining and urban charm, or to visit the growing city of Orillia.
EXPLORE SHANTY BAY
Boating, fishing, and watersports are easy to access in Shanty Bay, but there are plenty of things to do nearby. Need a date night? Cuddle up with a movie or two at the Sunset Barrie Drive-in. Do you enjoy golf? You’ve got options. Check out the Shanty Bay Golf Club, or Trehaven Golf and Country Club. Grab a bite to eat at Northway Restaurant, a great local gem, or swing by Napoli Pizzeria and Café on pizza night.
