What do a Mexican cerveza, a lime wedge, and two Canadian beaches have in common?
They’re all part of Corona’s 100th birthday bash.
To mark a century the beach-loving beer brand has just released its "Corona Beach 100" – a global list of the top 100 beaches.
And guess what? Canada made the list.
In a country where we wear toques longer than flip flops, our coastlines still turned the heads of the Corona team.
The two beaches chosen were Cox Bay Beach in Tofino, British Columbia, and Little Cove Beach in Tobermory, Ontario.

“For 100 years, Corona has embodied the essence of the beach lifestyle, inspiring people from around the world to disconnect from their everyday routine and reconnect with nature,” said Mike D’Agostini, Senior Marketing Director, Corona Canada.
“As Canada’s weather shifts to best enjoy the beach, we hope Canadians take advantage of flocking to our nation’s many beaches this summer and consider a specific visit to Tofino and Tobermory to celebrate a century of cheers with Corona.”
Cheers to Tofino and Tobermory
Cox Bay, on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island, is a surfer's haven known for its rolling waves and driftwood-dotted shoreline. It’s raw, rugged, and totally unfiltered — just the way west coasters like it.
On the other side of the country, Little Cove Beach in Tobermory is the hidden gem of Bruce Peninsula National Park. With its crystal-clear turquoise waters and rocky ledges, it's the kind of place you’d expect to find in Greece, not Ontario.
Corona’s list was handpicked by a panel of oceanographers, surfers, free divers and nature lovers.
Each location was rated on scenic beauty, connection to nature, and beachside culture, earning one to three “suns” (Corona’s answer to Michelin stars, but with sand).
The brand is planning a surprise celebration in downtown Toronto on May 5. While details are under wraps, word on the street is to hit up Yonge-Dundas Square between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
With domestic travel booming, for Canadians still thawing out from winter, this might just be the sign needed to plan a summer road trip.
Where else made the cut? The full list is available here.
