Singing Sands
Singing Sands Beach
A shallow sandy beach and Dorcas Bay wetland on the Lake Huron side, with warm, shallow water that suits family play and sunset watching.
Singing Sands Beach lies in Dorcas Bay on the western side of the national park. The lake is very shallow here and warmer than on the Georgian Bay side, so children can wade a long way out and still only reach their knees. The wetland and flat limestone plain beside the beach have an approximately 1.5 km loop trail, where many wild orchids and carnivorous plants appear in early summer. It is one of the ecological highlights of the national park. This is a free day-use area with a car park and toilets, and visitors can watch the sun set over Lake Huron in the evening. The drive from Tobermory takes about 15 minutes. Please do not enter the protected wetland on the beach.
