The Area

Why do thousands of visitors from Ontario and around the world travel to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula every year?

Perhaps it is because of two picturesque harbours lined with boats of all types and sizes, rocking gently on crystal clear waters. A walking tour of our small friendly village provides the visitor with great browsing opportunities in a wide variety of shops and art galleries, fine dining and casual restaurants, coffee houses and sweet treat spots, a serene garden open to visitors and memorable views.

Recognized as the Scuba Diving Capital of Canada, home of two National Parks, a stunning National Park Visitor Centre, site of Big Tub Lighthouse, access point to Flowerpot Island and Lighthouse, the northern terminus for the Bruce Trail, home of 44 species of wild orchids, amazing bird watching, a dark skies community ….the list is endless.

Whether you plan to travel aboard the MS Chi-Cheemaun passenger/car ferry, take a boat tour, kayak into hidden coves, snorkel, or lounge at a beach, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay clean waters and pristine beaches await you. Bring your hiking shoes and be prepared for breathtaking views, rugged wilderness and rare wildlife spottings as you explore the spectacular Niagara Escarpment along the Bruce Trail.

Sit back and drink in some of the most spectacular sunsets in the world. Relax but be inspired and excited by this UNESCO World Biosphere destination.

Tobermory is a very, very special place. We look forward to sharing it with you.
