Shaun Robertson, Travel Writer "What Is Tobermory, Ontario Like?" By Shaun Robertson, Travel Writer

On the tippy-top of the Bruce Peninsula some 185 miles (300 km) northwest of Toronto's towers and bustling streets, you will find the quiet lakeside Ontario town of Tobermory. Best known as a port of call for the Chi-Cheemaun, an iconic ferry connecting the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island, Tobermory offers so much more than a place to wait for a boat. This end-of-the-road town may be easy to dismiss if driving through, but those who take the time to get out of the car and explore are rewarded with some incredible sights. More from this guide...

At the windy crossroads of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, the Bruce Peninsula has seen its share of bad weather. As such, the surrounding waters are a gravesite filled with sunken ships. Paired with Caribbean-like turquoise, clear water, Tobermory is a fantastic kicking off point for freshwater scuba diving. In fact, the surrounding area and shorelines are included in the Fathom Five National Marine Park. Set to preserve the 20 historic shipwrecks in the water, the conservation area also includes several lighthouses.

Flower Pot Island, which gets its name from the two flower-pot-like rock pillars jutting out of the water, is an example of the surprising scenery Tobermory has to offer. Like its beautiful water, these flower pots seem more at home off the coast of Australia's Great Ocean Road and not in a Great Lake in Northern Ontario.
