Passing gifts left by both the continental ice sheets and their melt waters, Algonquin's beaches are wonderful stretches of golden-white sands which quickly darken beneath waters until they merge into the blackness of the lakes. The sand has a consistency falling right into the realm of perfection between course and soft. While most of Algonquin boasts lakes that have at least one nice beach, the best by far seem to be concentrated along the Fosmill drainage way extending from Lake Nipissing to a broad delta centered on Pembroke and the mouth of the Petawawa River. In particular, Grand and Cedar Lake have what I consider to be the finest beaches in the world.
They are the results of being in the right place in the right time as far as the glacial events go, and have been constantly helped with prevailing westerly winds grinding and replenishing the sand ever since the melt waters diminished.
