Description
The Grotto is a natural sea cave on Georgian Bay near Tobermory. I has become one of the most popular attractions in Bruce Peninsula National Park on the northern Bruce Peninsula. It features crystal-clear waters, dramatic caves and limestone cliffs overlooking the bay. Swimming is allowed but be aware that the waters of Georgian Bay are cold, even in the summer months.
Short Run: Paid reservations are required for parking to access the Grotto from May 1 to October 31. These are available from the national park online or at the park office. The run to the Grotto on an easy trail from the parking lot is roughly one hour round trip.
