"A sharply defined unit of land a veritable country
in itself with a soul of its own "
..that's the Bruce Peninsula described by W Sherwood Fox in the Bruce
Beckons.
Come and discover the Bruce for yourself !
With over 500 miles of majestic shoreline, there's enough for you to find your own special place - a hidden cove with a sandy beach, a tiny village hugging limestone cliffs, a quiet wooded trail or a quaint, bustling, town.
The Bruce Peninsula offers vacationers a wide variety of outdoor activities, rest and relaxation, sweet air and clear waters, and a unique type of scenery.
It's a paradise
for naturalists, photographers and fishermen. For the adventurers, hike
the Bruce Trail, go scuba diving over many shipwrecks in Fathom Five National
Marine Park, the first of its kind in Canada, or sail the inland seas and
admire our rugged coast along the eastern shore.
Take a horse for a ride! Play golf or swim in the warm waters and soak up the sun on miles of white sand beaches.
In winter, hundreds of miles of groomed, well-marked snowmobile and cross country ski trails await the sled owner and skier.
Pack a lunch.Travel the backroads on a "gravel run" from Wiarton via Big Bay to Owen Sound, or from Dyers Bay to Cabot Head, from Howdenvale to Pike Bay, or from Colpoy's Bay through Hope Bay, Barrow Bay to north of Lion's Head.
Visit any one of the museums, historic sites, antique and craft shops and flea markets sprinkled around the Peninsula. Enjoy art shows, bake sales, pancake breakfasts, flower and horse shows and garage sales. Take in our village fairs, music festivals, dances and winter carnivals.
Whenever you visit us, resorts, hotels, cottages, motels
private campgrounds and bed and breakfast homes offer excellent and varied
accommodation.The people of the Bruce welcome you with warm smiles.
