A fishing village where Georgian Bay's crystalline waters meet limestone cliffs and endless wilderness.
Tobermory sits at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula like a windswept outpost, where Lake Huron's turquoise shallows crash against white limestone ledges. The pace here follows the ferry schedule and weather patterns, with dive shops, fish-and-chips counters, and cottage stores clustering around the harbor while the vast wilderness of Bruce Peninsula National Park spreads inland.
