Sea caves of the Bruce Peninsula

The cliffs of Georgian Bay on the Bruce Peninsula are littered with sea caves of various sizes. The most famous being the Grotto in Bruce Peninsula National Park, the pool of water in the Grotto is a well known swimming hole, the water in the cave is illuminated with light from an underwater passage and makes for a good swim on a calm day. Many many years of erosion from an ancient sea and the current active weather of Georgian Bay have created many sea caves all along the coast, any hiker will be rewarded for a good days hike along the coast. Below are few of the many sea caves.
