Indian Head Cove
A limestone cove beside the caves, with a white pebble shoreline, emerald waters and wave-carved rock arches, ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
Indian Head Cove lies a few hundred metres east of the caves and is the most photogenic stretch of the Bruce Peninsula National Park shoreline. The clear waters of Georgian Bay take on an emerald hue, and the shore features flat limestone shelves and pillars and small arches carved by erosion. Most visitors use it as a rest and swimming spot after exploring the caves, and where the water is shallow you can snorkel over the bedrock. It shares the Cyprus Lake parking lot with the caves and requires advance booking of time slots. It is about a 30-minute walk from the lot. The pebbles are hard on bare feet, so water shoes are recommended.
