All about Kincardine
On the shores of Lake Huron in Bruce County, Ontario, the lovely town of Kincardine has strong Scottish roots, which are celebrated year-round with Scottish-themed festivals, traditional pipers, and Scottish-inspired dishes found in restaurants around town. The Scots settled here in the 1850s, and the town has worked hard to preserve this heritage, which you can learn all about at Walker House — the town’s local museum.
Kincardine is also blessed with white sandy beaches, clear waters, and surrounding natural beauty. The town’s main beach is Station Beach, which offers great swimming and surfing conditions, and has Mob-Mats, which allows access for those in wheelchairs. There are even wheelchair rentals available here. The nearby Inverhuron Beach is also lovely for a swim and is quieter for those who prefer a more intimate atmosphere. In summer, take a stroll up to Kincardine Lighthouse to enjoy a glorious sunset over Lake Huron and hear the haunting sounds of the Phantom Piper’s bagpipes atop of the lighthouse.
What are the top things to do in Kincardine?
Station Beach
Spend a day at Station Beach, with its shallow water and sandy beach, offering perfect conditions for swimmers of all ages. You can relax and sun yourself, or if you’re feeling active, play a game of beach volleyball. Enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk beside the beach with signs along the way offering an insight into the local maritime history and shipwrecks. Station Beach has also been named one of Canada's top destinations for surfing. Sit back and watch the surfers do their thing or rent a board and have a go yourself.
Kincardine Lighthouse and Museum
Visit the historic octagonal wooden tower which is the only downtown lighthouse on the Bruce Coast. Constructed above a two-story light keeper’s house in 1881 on the banks of Penetangore River, it stands at an estimated 25 meters tall. Come to the lighthouse in evenings during July and August for the magnificent sunsets and views over the town and hear the haunting sounds of bagpipes from the Phantom Piper. Each night a Pipe Band member takes their turn to play from the top of the Kincardine Lighthouse.
Inverhuron Provincial Park
Take a short 15-minute drive to this park which boasts a two-kilometer sandy beach, dunes, and a series of walking trails which will lead you through a wetland and a ghost town. First settled in the 1840’s the town was destroyed by fire in 1887 and never recovered. The park is also home to many woodland animals and birds, including bald eagles, which can be spotted circling above.
