Address:
The Grotto, Northern Bruce Peninsula, ON N0H 2R0, Canada

Tobermory is a small community located at the northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula in the municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula. It is 300 kilometres northwest of Toronto. The closest city to Tobermory is Owen Sound, 100 kilometres south of Tobermory and connected by Highway 6. Due to similar harbour conditions it was named after Tobermory , the capital of the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. The community is known as the fresh water SCUBA diving capital of the world because of the numerous shipwrecks that lie in the surrounding waters, especially in Fathom Five National Marine Park. Tobermory and the surrounding area are popular vacation destinations. People come for the beaches, the diving, the unspoilt countryside and the relaxed pace of life. These very qualities are being destroyed by the huge influx of tourists each year. Facilities and parking can not cope with the large tourist numbers. The town lies north of the Bruce Peninsula National Park. The MS Chi-Cheemaun passenger-car ferry connects Tobermory to Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron. Tobermory is also the northern terminus of the Bruce Trail, and has twin harbours, known locally as Big Tub and Little Tub. Big Tub Harbour is Canada's largest natural freshwater harbour. Tobermory is typically a few degrees colder than Toronto. Most of the businesses in the town are open from May until the Thanksgiving long weekend in October, and are closed for the other seven months of the year.
