Whether you are a golf fanatic, or would just like to experience a beautiful view! Cobble is a great place to grab a bite to eat on the patio over looking the bay. While it is a bit pricier, the food is excellent.

You can’t come to Owen Sound, and not visit Harrison Park! It is a great place to take the family, go for ice cream, play mini golf or rent a paddle boat! There is even a restaurant in the park as well. Great paved walking paths, as well as a small trail that leads to a cute waterfall. If you are up for a longer hike, head right out the front door & go straight and in about 1km, you will come to the back entrance of the park and there is a lovely walk into the main area.

While there are many great beaches in the area, this is my personal favourite! With Georgian Bay being well known for its chilly waters, I find it tends to be a little bit warmer down here. It is not usually quite as busy, as it is a bit of the beaten path.
