Municipality of
Northern Bruce Peninsula

As a visitor to our area, we offer many services for you to enjoy. We are very fortunate to have two picturesque harbours located on the shores of Georgian Bay , one located on the tip of the Bruce Peninsula , better known as "Little Tub Harbour" in Tobermory and the other nestled in the Port of Lion 's Head.

A beautiful sandy beach, where we offer swimming lessons, and a camp­ground operated by the municipality can also be found in the heart of Lion's Head.

For those of you who would like to view this breathtaking scenery from above, look to our Tobermory Municipal Airport to land your aircraft and be welcomed by our friendly staff.

As you travel up the Peninsula , there is an abundance to see and enjoy. Visit Cabot Head Lighthouse, designated by the Federation of Ontario Naturalists as an Important Bird Area, or stop in at St. Margaret's Chapel, one of the oldest structures in our municipality.

History is an important part of our Municipality and glimpses of our past can be found by visiting the Peninsula and St. Edmunds Township Museum located in Tobermory. If you are looking for a good book to read you'll be sure to find one at either Lion's Head or Tobermory Libraries.

We are able to cater to groups, weddings and conventions as we have two large facilities, the Tobermory Community Centre and the Lion's Head Arena. There are many services offered by local merchants as well.

For whatever reason your travels have brought you to the " Northern Bruce Peninsula ," we want you to feel welcome and hope you have a memorable experience, one that will prompt you to return again and again.
