Little Cove Beach in Ontario has breathtaking turquoise waters you can snorkel and dive in

Little Cove Beachis a breathtaking destination to add to your summer bucket list, with crystal-clear turquoise waters, white cobblestone shores, rugged cliffs, and towering pine trees.

Located roughly 4 hours north of Toronto, you'll find Little Cove Beach inTobermory, a picturesque town located on the Bruce Peninsula.

Nestled in a protected inlet along the Lake Huron shoreline, Little Cove Beach is part of theNiagara Escarpment Parks System. You won't find a fine sandy beach here, but the striking contrast of white stones against bright blue waters are signature to the area.

Although it may look tropical in colour, the water in Tobermory is ice-cold year-round. However, it makes for a refreshing dip on a sweltering summer's day.

If you can brave the cold temperatures, the calm and shallow waters at Little Cove Beach make it an incredible place to swim or snorkel around. The clear water allows for excellent visibility, which means you can often spot various species of fish.

While you're in the area, stop by the famousGrotto, one of Bruce Peninsula's most popular attractions. Snorkel around its intricate cave structures, orsee it from the rocks above. Alternatively, head toHalfway Log Dumpfor a less-crowded hike with equally beautiful views.
