Hay River Beach is a vast sandy shoreline located on the south side of Great Slave Lake in Canada. Snorkellers can explore the rippled sandy bottom, which offers visibility away from the river mouth. This site is suitable for beginners and provides shore access directly from the beach. Facilities available to visitors include parking, toilets, showers, changing rooms, a rinse station, and a cafe. Due to the nature of the environment, divers and snorkellers should be prepared for cold water conditions.
