STUFF TO DO
|
|
|
|
The village of Tobermory
is about a ten-minute drive from the cottage. There are a number of good
restaurants and bars in town. The Grandview
Restaurant is located right on the water. It is a little more expensive
than most of the restaurants in town, but well worth it! The view at sunset
is fantastic. The Sweet
Shoppe is our favourite place for delicious ice cream, home made fudge,
peanut brittle and specialty coffees. Enjoy your treat while sitting on
their patio watching the boats come and go. There is a golf course, several
mini-golf courses, Medical Clinic, NewVisitor's Center with a beautiful
view at the Observation Tower, Laundromats, grocery stores, gift shops,
paintball target practice, museum,
airplane charters, bingo, and special events at the Community Hall and at
the local Legion. The Bake Shop has just relocated closer to the cottage,
and has wonderful freshly-made pizza, cinnamon buns, muffins, pies, etc.
If you enjoy the water, several different boat cruises offer deep-water
fishing, scuba diving lessons, shipwreck tours or cruises at sunset along
the coastline of Flowerpot Island. Discover the lighthouses and the history
of the area, as well as the natural beauty. The Chicheemaun is a ferryboat
that offers a sunset dinner cruise, or you can take your vehicle directly
on-board for a trip around Manitoulin Island.
Also only a short drive away are two sandy beaches, Dunks Bay on the
Georgian Bay side of the peninsula, or Singing Sands Provincial Park,
on the Lake Huron side (Dorcas Bay). Singing Sands is much larger than
Dunks Bay, and the water is much warmer, and more shallow. It also has
a public washroom, which is very convenient.

pink roses while you put your feet up and read a good book or birdwatch.
Your stress will melt away! Barbecue lunch or dinner with the kids in
plain view playing games on the lawn or enjoying nature. Kids love looking
for frogs, turtles, salamanders and "bugs". There are also chipmunks
and many species of birds including herons and hummingbirds. It is especially
nice on the deck at night with the patio lanterns on and the candles lit,
while soothing yourself in the new hot tub with a chilled "beverage".
