Tobermory Off The Beaten Path
If you’re looking for more unusual attractions and day trips in Tobermory, take these off the beaten path suggestions from those who know the area.
The Beauty in Nature in Tobermory
Much of Ontario is about the water and their gardens. About 10 km south of Tobermory, you can find Dorcas Bay (sometimes called Singing Sands.) The water stays shallow for the first half mile out into Lake Huron, and you should definitely go if you’re looking for fewer crowds and more peace. People stopped coming to Singing Sands as much because there’s a lot of grass that obscures the pure white sand, but it’s still a great spot to have a picnic or take a walk. You can also find Inglis Falls to the South of Owen Sound which you can can get to via Bruce Trail. This famous and beautiful train will also pass by Jones Falls and Barrow Bay. If you’re on the Bruce Peninsula, you can find the Larkwhistle gardens, which is a private garden where you can find vegetables, fruits, flowers and pergolas for shade.
