The community itself is known for its strong sense of pride, friendly neighbours, and respect for the natural environment. Manicured properties blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere whether you’re visiting for a short escape or an extended stay.

Many visitors notice the striking aqua colour of Georgian Bay’s water. This effect comes from light refracting through calcite crystals, formed as calcium carbonate leaches from the dolostone escarpment into the bay. These tiny crystals bend light in a unique way, producing the vivid hues the region is famous for.
