All about Tobermory
It’s no wonder that Canada’s longest marked footpath — the 560-mile-long Bruce Trail — starts in Niagara and lures hikers to its wondrous grand finale in Tobermory, Ontario. Tobermory sits at the end of the Bruce Peninsula, where the serenity of its clear freshwater setting merges with dramatic stone formations and lush forests, providing all the necessities for a nature retreat rich with native wildlife. The small lakeside village is filled with shops, galleries, cottages, and restaurants (don’t miss the famous Georgian Bay whitefish, most deliciously served up in fish and chips) surrounding Little Tub Harbour. But with two national parks and striking vistas, the true star of a Tobermory getaway is the great outdoors.
What are the top things to do in Tobermory?
Fathom Five National Marine Park
Formed by 420-million-year-old dolomite, the underwater marvels make for some of the world’s best freshwater scuba diving, especially with more than 20 shipwreck sites to explore. From mid-May to mid-October, take a glass-bottom boat to Flowerpot Island — where rock pillars resembling flowerpots jut out of the water — and gaze at the wrecks below en route.
Bruce Peninsula National Park
Majestic limestone cliffs and clear turquoise waters adorn forests filled with diverse wildlife, including black bears, snapping turtles, and northern flying squirrels, as well as 34 species of orchids. The 0.6-mile hike to the Grotto and adjacent Indian Head Cove are among the most popular activities for good reason, as well as seasonal camping, cross-country skiing, fishing — and simply relaxing in nature.
Bruce Peninsula Beaches
Every side of the peninsula is filled with beaches, including Little Cove and Boulder Beaches on the bayside and Singing Sands on the lakeside. But perhaps one of the most popular is Sauble Beach, about an hour south of Tobermory.
