The view from "High Dump" is the most spectacular on the Bruce Peninsula; more so than the view at the Grotto. It's a 2-3 hour hike from Crane Lake Parking Lot. Just south of the boulder beach is the most spectacular rock formations in the water on the peninsula. Although it is a far cry from a sand beach, it is none the less one of my favourite places to swim on the peninsula. It is only for the adventurous, with an overnight stay in a backcountry campground being the most practical solution to reach this location. Pay Parking

The largest and most famous beach on the peninsula. It is unique in its size and its very gradual entry. This creates very warm waters and large areas that are safe for little ones.

A perfect place to find more reading material. No library card required :) Just a 15-minute drive from the cottage and is always well-stocked :) The Pine Tree Harbour is also a lovely place known for having many Orchids, so keep your eyes peeled for them. There is public water access, but it's rocky and does not hold a candle to the public beach. There is an island that one can swim to though, which can be fun. Free parking. No public washrooms.
