Stoke's Bay Tamarac Island Bruce Peninsula Ontario Canada

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

Hello friends, It was the weekend of June 15, 2018, we headed up to my father's birthplace Stoke's Bay Ontario.
This small fishing community is located on the Bruce Peninsula a beautiful part of Ontario. Within this community is a small island where there are some cottages,homes and these cool resort with 6 unit motel and a nice little 4 person cabin. Here is a series of photos I shot of the area that we stayed at.

When you stand on the front yard of the tiny cabin you see this to the right. This is the old Inn or boarding house on the property. It is currently under a major renovation.

If you look straight up the hill from the front deck of the cabin you see the 6 unit motel of the resort.

If you stand on the hill beside the motel you see their dock which has full use for the guest of the resort.

When you stand on the end of the dock and use a telephoto lens you can take a great picture of the Lyal Island lighthouse.

Thank you for your photo-stoty! Beautiful pics from a nice place. I like Canada.

Thank you for your support and for viewing my post I am happy you enjoyed.

You're bringing back memories of childhood camping trips. My dad's first cottage was just outside of Tobermory and it burned down when I was a week old. Every summer holiday was a camping trip until I was in my teens and we bought property on Manitoulin Island.

I so glad to hear that. :) I have a few childhood memories from the area also it's my Dads family rooted here in the 1800's from Scotland. I love the area I have been pondering on whether I should move there.

I was thinking of that just looking at your photos. Ontario is so beautiful in the summer.

I will have to ask my Mom if we ever camped there. I remember camping at a few other places like Dorcas Bay and Cypress Lake, renting a cottage at Miller Lake, hiking the Bruce trail at Pretty Cove and a few other places. We also stopped for smokies (smoked Herring) in Wiarton and saw Wiarton Willy there on one occasion.

You have been to more places than me on the Bruce. You were lucky my family really wasn't into camping. I like camping though.

Manitoulin is similar but without rattlesnakes.

Right on! My cousin and Aunt would love that. :)

My Mom too. They nicknamed a rocky point near the Tobermory cottage as Rattlesnake Point. She used to walk out there and scream!

Yes it is beautiful I don't even mind a short winter ;)

I am so envious! That looks like the perfect place for a vacation...or to spend the summer! I miss Ontario summers! Tip!

I love it there as you can probably tell. People are so friendly and it is quite. Thank You for the tip!!! :)
