Beaches What is summer without a beach? From secluded spots to family friendly beaches where the smell of french fries is in the air, Saugeen Shores has a beach to suit all your desires. The Southampton Beach is a popular spot with the scenic views of our famed Chantry Island and lovely boardwalk. Head South to Port Elgin Main Beach, where you will find a buzz of activity in and out of the water. For a more relaxing spot try out Eidt’s Grove or Gobles Grove for its pleasant beach space and lovely views. Take a look at our maps—where there is shoreline there is most likely a place for you to enjoy.

Harbour & Boating Looking for a boat launch? Head to our harbour in Port Elgin or Chesley Street launch in Southampton. Port Elgin harbour offers transient slips and seasonal docking and moorings, fuel, electricity, washrooms, restaurants, a gorgeous, sandy beach and more. To enter the harbour, Logie’s Rock serves as a reference
10
point. It’s marked by a light buoy and lies 2 miles west-northwest of Port Elgin. When entering the harbour it is important to stay within the buoyed channel. Range markers with green lights lead boaters in on a course of 109. Harbour staff monitor VHF channel 68. Harbour season usually runs from the 1st of May until the end of October.

Saugeen River
Paddling With 7 access points throughout Saugeen Shores, paddling the Saugeen River is a favourite pastime for adventurers and a popular place for locals over a long weekend. The official route begins in Hanover and ends 102 km downstream at Southampton’s Denny’s Dam (just before the River meets Lake Huron). The river varies from wide, slow-flowing sections, to stretches with white rapids, making the Saugeen ideal for family canoeing. Call local outfitters for rentals and shuttles, and pick up paddling maps at the Visitors Centre.

Dunes
PHOTO BY PETER MCNEICE
Our coastal dunes are widely considered to be among the rarest and most fragile ecosystem in Canada. The “Chantry Dunes” in Southampton are one of the first community-driven dune conservation projects in Ontario. Dune grass protects from sand erosion that could negatively affect our beaches and ecosystem.

Fishing With Lake Huron in our front yard and the Saugeen River flowing around us there are many spots to try out. We are known as a great place for fly fishing.

Our shoreline becomes host to many birds from the photogenic to the endangered. We have been home to endangered Piping Plovers. Chantry Island has been a Federal Bird Sanctuary since 1957 as many migratory birds flock and nest there.

Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing The Bruce County weather brings no shortage of snow, but luckily for us we have found many ways to enjoy it. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are popular on the Saugeen Rail Trail, which runs inland between Port Elgin and Southampton. Another favourite route is Biener’s Bush Trail and Bush Line Trail which connect the 10th Concession to Market Street. Gore Drain Trail and Rotary Way Trail link Port Elgin to MacGregor Point Provincial Park, where there are a multitude of trails. Alternately, pick another of our numerous trails to explore!
Our trails are perfect for snowshoeing, cross country skiing and winter hiking. Pick up trail brochures at the Visitors Centres (see page 7)

Snowmobiling Oh Winter, you don’t scare us. Bruce County has over 1000km of sledding trails, and is a perfect way to get around the outskirts of town. You can access OFSC District 9 trails via the east edge of Port Elgin and Southampton. Our Tourism offices and gas stations have local snowmobile maps.

Curling
Skating
We have two rinks; one at The Coliseum in Southampton and the other located at Mill Creek Road and Gustavus Street in Port Elgin. Curling is a game gaining some traction in Saugeen Shores. These two clubs have had success with eight enders at international Bonspiels as well as competitions closer to home. Both clubs offer lessons and open days where anyone is invited to hone and test out their skills.
Looking for some family fun on a winter weekend? In the winter, the Southampton Coliseum offers public skating most weekends and The Plex in Port Elgin is always a hive of activity with public skating and hockey games. Want a little more adventure? Try going to MacGregor Point Provincial Park, off Bruce Road 33. It offers a picturesque outdoor skating loop through the forest as well as a separate rink pad.

Saugeen First Nation Our neighbours to the north, Saugeen First Nation #29, have a cultural community that is inviting to anyone who visits. One of the area’s best kept secrets is the outdoor limestone Amphitheatre and gardens. Stone stairways, walkways and terraced gardens overlook the Saugeen River. Currently undergoing unique stonework renovations, the Amphitheatre and gardens are a popular wedding destination and a lovely spot for a short hike and photos. The Amphitheatre is located along Highway 21 in Saugeen First Nation #29. Watch for the sign at the entrance to the parking lot on the south side of the highway. There is no admission fee but donations are appreciated. Catch a spectacular fireworks show here in May and be sure not to miss the Pow Wow held August 13th and 14th. Catch a glimpse of Ojibway culture as the Saugeen First Nation showcase the culture of Canada’s native people. PHOTO BY DAVE NICHOLSON PHOTOS BY PETER MCNEICE

Dogs Bring your furkid(s) to Saugeen Shores! Our 13 acre off leash Dog Park located in Port Elgin, on Lehnen Street is open daily from dawn to dusk. Leashed dogs are allowed north of the Port Elgin Harbour at North Shore Park. This park includes a rocky beach area where dogs are allowed to swim, and benches for you to relax on. There are a few doggy day cares in town, various veterinary services and boarding, even canine training classes for those cute but pesky puppies.

Memories Are Made Here For information on relocating your family or your business to Saugeen Shores contact the local Chamber of Commerce or the Business Enterprise Centre (see ad page 62)
Our friendly folks and small town charm are very alluring. Many visitors to the area are enticed to relocate to Saugeen Shores tempted by the inspiring vistas, miles of incredible shoreline and beaches, rural side roads and starry nights like no where else. Others are enticed by the two thriving downtowns, multitude of recreational opportunities, abundance of music and arts activities and the perfect atmosphere for raising a family or retiring.
