Singing Sands — Attraction in Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula

The water here is very shallow, making it perfect for young children or dogs with short legs. You can walk a very long distance into the water and only have it come as high as your knees. This is a natural beach that is not groomed or maintained in any way and is home to the local wildlife. This means there are grasses growing all along the beach, you have to watch out for goose and seagull poop and be aware of the local wildlife including snakes. With that being said, it is a very fun beach for families because of the safety factor.

When you find a quiet and a beautiful sand beach in the middle of all the rocky area, its enough to wonder how nature keeps you entertained and surprised all the time. After a tiring walk to see the Grotto (which wasn't any less amusing) we thought to check this beach out, although we had not heard a lot about it. Kids were much delighted to play in the sand while the water was quite warm unlike at the Grotto (even in the middle of May) - This beach sits at Lake Huron which is warmer than the Georgian Bay although it is just across the road. I would recommend travelers to spend some time at this beach if you are in the area, as you do not often get to see as much of clear warm water and...
