De La Salle Georgina Beach
Nice and clean little beach to enjoy Lake Simcoe. Much more peaceful in the “off-season” if you appreciate time by the water.

( votes)Home Town of Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey, a Canadian actor, comedian, impressionist, screenwriter, and producer, was born in nearby Newmarket. His family settled in Jackson’s Point in his late teens.
According to his own testimony, at age ten, Carrey wrote a letter to Carol Burnett of the Carol Burnett Show pointing out that he was already a master of impressions and should be considered for a role on the show; he was, as a child, overjoyed at receiving the semblance of a formally written reply.
