Peaceful View at the Singing Sands Beach: Bruce Peninsula National Park, Tobermory, Ontario

Enjoy the tranquil view at the Singing Sands Beach, one of Bruce Peninsula National Park’s most family-friendly and accessible shoreline destinations near Tobermory, Ontario. Situated on the Lake Huron side of the peninsula, this sandy beach offers a unique contrast to the rugged cliffs and dramatic views found at the Grotto.

Singing Sands Beach stretches approximately 1 km along Dorcas Bay, offering a wide expanse of shallow, warm water and soft, silty sand that “sings” or squeaks when walked on—giving the beach its name. The shallow shoreline makes it ideal for families with young children, non-swimmers, and visitors with mobility limitations, as there are few waves and a very gradual entry into the lake. A number of sandbars keeps the water level below the waist for 500 meters or more!

Historically, the area around Singing Sands was part of traditional Indigenous territories. Today, it is a protected section of Bruce Peninsula National Park, home to rare alvar ecosystems and coastal dune habitats. During a day trip, visitors can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, wildlife viewing, picnicking, or exploring short walking trails that offer educational insights into the region’s biodiversity.
