The area is geographically located between 2 bodies of water - Lake Huron & Georgian Bay. These bodies of water offer 2 different worlds.. and both are a fantastic way of life! Lake Huron has her sandy shores and the best sunsets in Southern Ontario. The waters are warm, and shallower near the shore. Rocky outcroppings of dolomite edge the serene harbours in the north half of the Bruce - whil white sand covers the shores in the south. Sauble beach is an example of a wonderful beach located in the area. Prestigous cottages and homes are nestled along the shorelines most with large private lots and beautiful waterfronts. Inland properties have lovely forested lots - and even some farmland. The Georgian Bay side of the peninsula offers you a rugged shoreline - with 150' limestone cliffs over-looking the turquois blue waters of Georgian Bay. This area is a natural wonder - with miles of forested trails, several national parks and of course the Bruce Peninsula National Park - this is the place to call home! Properties on Georgian Bay are still reasonably prices - let me help you find the perfect one! It is the prefect spot to raise your family or to retire - there is so much nature to offer. Both sides offer plenty of options - there are several marinas, plenty of fishing, inland lakes such as Miller Lake and BoatLake, watersports such as para-sailing and jet-skiing - you name it - you can do it on the water of the Bruce!
