Tucked away in the northern reaches of the Bruce Peninsula, Dorcas Bay is a peaceful, nature-rich enclave just minutes outside of Tobermory. Known for its untouched beauty, quiet forest-lined roads, and access to Lake Huron’s crystal-clear waters, this area offers a perfect balance of seclusion and proximity to local attractions.

Dorcas Bay is part of the Bruce Peninsula National Park region, with direct access to Singing Sands Beach, one of the area's most popular natural landmarks. The beach is just a short drive or bike ride from Dragonfly Cove and features warm, shallow water, soft sand, and interpretive boardwalks through rare coastal dune ecosystems.

The surrounding area is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, hikers, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in the rich biodiversity of the peninsula. You'll regularly see wildlife like deer, foxes, and a variety of bird species, along with stunning sunsets and clear night skies perfect for stargazing.

Despite its peaceful setting, the cottage is only a 10- to 12-minute drive from downtown Tobermory, where you’ll find charming shops, restaurants, the Chi-Cheemaun ferry terminal, dive shops, and access to the Fathom Five National Marine Park. Nearby attractions also include Little Cove Adventures, The Grotto, and miles of scenic Bruce Trail hiking routes.

With its unique blend of privacy, wilderness, and access to amenities, Dorcas Bay offers a cottage-country experience that’s hard to match—ideal for those looking to unwind and explore the very best of Ontario’s natural landscapes.
