Comprised of the waterfront communities of Huron-Kinloss, Kincardine, Saugeen Shores, South Bruce Peninsula and Northern Bruce Peninsula, including the towns of Kincardine, Port Elgin, Southampton, Sauble Beach, Wiarton, Lion’s Head and Tobermory, it’s no exaggeration to say there’s something here for everyone. With famous hiking, climbing and scuba diving experiences, mountain biking, boat tours, stellar camping, cottages and resorts, restaurants and bakeries, you’ll find the opportunities nearly inexhaustible.
