Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Indian Head Cove (Northeastern Ontario) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Indian Head Cove (Northeastern Ontario) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Indian Head Cove for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This is one of the most beautiful and utterly Bruce Peninsula views you can get. The water is turquoise blue even on a completely overcast day. The rocks that you climb over to get to the waters edge are pretty easy to navigate, but definitely be careful. Absolutely worth a visit!

These are very pretty coves while going towards grotto. I really loved this place. Also during summer the water is chilly but you can swim.

Great spot for swimming & relaxing by the water. Walking through the water can be tricky as it’s quite rocky and slippery. Water shoes can be helpful.

Beautiful place. Clear waters, amazing view, and very interesting rock structures. Make sure you reserve parking at the Grotto, otherwise you can come here through the Head of Trails too. It can get really crowded however, so I would suggest coming early in the day or later. You can also swim at other areas along the shore that are very similar, if it does get too busy. Enjoy!
