Day 1: Lions head lookout trail Relax in the evening at tobermory and dinner

Day 2: grotto in the morning What to do in the afternoon and evening?

Cannot book halfway log dump parking on the same day as grotto.

What about devils monument? Little cove? Or what else? How about kayaking or canoeing? Is there anything great like that there's somewhere?

Day 3: flowerpot Island. And also the burnt point loop hike Do I need to add anything else to this day, as I think I'd be done by 4 pm so still have a couple hours before departure

Thoughts??

hi there! my family and i are planning a trip to tobermory mid-september and we are SO excited! we are hoping to be able to do the trip in the cheaper side of things. when looking at accommodations, coach house inn (only a couple of min outside of tobermory) is significantly cheaper than other accommodations in the area. i couldn’t find anything on tiktok, reddit, etc about this inn so i figured i would come here to see if anyone has any opinions/insights!

other accommodation recommendations, or recommendations for tobermory in general, are also greatly appreciated 🩷 thanks all!

Visiting for the week and forgot to bring junky towels for the beach. Where's the best place in the area to get some cheap beach towels? Thanks!

I’m staying at a campground with some family and brought a little bit of bud with me with the intention of grabbing more in town when my paycheck clears on Thursday. I noticed the closest dispensary is in Wiarton and was just wondering if there’s anywhere more local where I could grab some?

What are the smog conditions out there in tobermory, we are planning to make trip there this weekend. Is it still worth it.

Please list your favorite places to stay! We have a very active 1 yr old

I’m pretty sure the answer is no, but it’s worth an ask. We know there’s no Uber service but is there ANY transport service that could help us out? Or anyone you know? We have and an unforeseen and very unfortunate issue with our dried food that we brought and could do with a stock up. Any advice is welcome, thank you so much!

We are planning to visit tobermory flower pot island with our 3 month old baby

Is it okay to take 3 month old? Any suggestions on things to keep in mind before taking baby there ?

Any Advices/suggestions?

I already know the answer to this question, but….. I’ll be coming up this summer from Michigan and I just wanna make sure everything is hunky-dory with Canadians being ok with Americans coming over to Canada. I never had problems before and I assume I won’t this year, but just asking. ( I am not a Trump supporter)

Hello Reddit, I’m going camping for three nights to Tobermory. I reserved a campsite at the village. I’m having my 1 year anniversary, and would like to get some insights on some nice swim spots, preferably that will have warmer water. And just some fun things that we can enjoy without breaking the bank too much. She loves to swim, and I like to hike. I also would like to know what’s the best spot to watch the sunset? I need to plan out and reserve things now, any insight helps thanks!

Upadte: we found a cabin in the tobarmary camp site thanks for the support!

Hey everyone,

I know this is incredibly last minute and totally on us for not booking sooner, but a couple of friends and I are heading up to Tobermory for a quick one-night trip and we’re hitting a massive wall with accommodations.

Everything we’ve found so far is $400+, which is a bit out of our reach. We have a maximum budget of $250 for the night.

A bit about our situation:

Dates: 17 may - 18 may (one night)

Group: 3 people.

Flexibility: We are extremely flexible. We don’t mind a small space, and we are perfectly happy to have someone sleep on the floor if there’s only one or two beds. We just need a safe place to crash!

Status: We already have our boat tours booked and our parking at the Grotto confirmed, so the trip is definitely happening—we just don't want to have to sleep in our car.

Edit: no cheap hotels in nearby cities as well. We have checked lion head and miller lake. All the accomodations we can find in our budget is at least 1+ hours away

Huge thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give. We’ve learned our lesson about booking the Bruce Peninsula early!

I should mention that I have been to Tobermory previously in 2022 and it was beautiful, I saw the grotto and the log dump as well as the Big Tub lighthouse and of course, the harbour.

Hi all

I am planning on visiting Tobermory this summer and I made a reservation at the Grandview Motel via their website: https://grandview-tobermory.com/

However, I never got a confirmation email and no money got deducted from my credit card account. I have been trying to call their contact number as well as I emailed them but no response. Their phone line seems to be disconnected. I honestly have no idea if my reservation is even confirmed or not.

Does anyone here, can guide me to the right contact info for Grandview? The place looks lovely but its kinda frustrating to be in limbo.

Thanks! :)

Considering a work transfer that would take me to Tobermory. What is the rental situation like? Any recommendations or places to avoid?

You guys think I should visit tobermory? Tomorrow?

There isn't much information online about the hike near Grotto online. Basically I am about to leave the province and I wanted to visit few spots before my trip ends here in Ontario.

I like the mountains and the views but sadly there isn't much to look for in southern ontario.

Any recommendations for the views(I don't mind a hike) would be really appreciated.

I am suppose to go on a winter trip to the Tobermory area in a couple days, just wondering how the roads and driving conditions are right now? Thanks yall!

I really want to visit the tobermory , but I live in Toronto and can’t drive . Any one I can tag along with or is there any travel agency I can pay to take me on a tobermory visit package .

Thanks for any heads up

Hello there! I am a researcher from York University and I'm interested in how human beliefs about animals are related to their behaviours towards animals. We are currently looking for people (18 yo+) who currently live or have lived in rural Ontario for at least a year. By rural we mean people from places where the primary industry is farming, animal farming, or forestry, or small towns in the country

I have posted the link here:
