Last year, for the first time, I went to Tobermory in the Bruce Peninsula. This year, we went back before peak season to explore the surrounding area. We stopped by Bruce’s Caves, Wiarton, Lion’s Head and Tobermory – unfortunately, we didn’t make it to Flowerpot Island … but we will be back within the next few weeks!
Bruce’s Caves were our first quick stop – part of a unique cave formations found along the escarpment face. Unfortunately, not as picturesque as I thought.
In Wiarton, I stopped for a photo with the Wiarton Willie statue. According to southbrucepeninsula.com, “The statue was unveiled “Willie Emerging” in the Bluewater Park on William Street in Wiarton on February 3rd, 1996 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Wiarton Willie prognostications.”
Lion’s Head is about a 30 minute drive from Wiarton, and has a beautiful beach – great for canoeing, kayaking and hiking. It almost looks tropical in photos.
And our last stop was the Big Tub Lighthouse in Tobermory. An incredible location for picnics, photos and just relaxing until the sun goes down. Also, a quick fly or boat ride away, you can see one of the famous shipwrecks in the area. Tobermory is home to more than 20 shipwrecks.
I’ll be back, Tobermory. And not just for the ice cream. 🙂
Fascinating place, Emily – you look as if you are enjoying yourselves
It is such a beautiful location, it almost looks tropical! That’s what we love about it!
Love that photo of you two with the ice cream , it made me laugh. you guys are so funny! Great photos and a great article too. 🙂
The ice cream was very good, too bad it closed so early. Although, I suspect by peak season, many more stores will extend their hours!
Very informative article, Ontario has some great places to visit. Your photos are beautiful too. Really liked the ice cream photo it’s really funny! looks like it was a fun trip.
Ontario really does has some great places! This is one of my new favourites! 🙂
I quite like that lighthouse.
It was beautiful!
Such sweet shots. It always looks like you are having so much fun.
We did! I wish I had more time to stay there and just relax!
cool portraits and that lighthouse picture is superb 🙂
It is a great! That shot was taken with a quad copter!
“Tobermory is home to more than 20 shipwrecks.” OMG! Talk about a diver’s paradise. In the meantime, it’s fun to see it from above, looking down into its treasures. It’s clear you’re having a great time, Emily. Congratulations.
Thanks so much Ginnie! 🙂 Too bad we don’t dive, but next time we’re hoping to take a canoe out onto the water! Hopefully we can go back in the next couple of weeks 🙂
the drone is showing off some really nice view point, Emily. fun post from a fun trip
Thanks so much! It was a fun day for sure 🙂
That scenery is gorgeous, I love the blue water!
