We woke this morning in Sauble Falls PP. Not the best campsite; it's really tough to figure out what to reserve based on the internet descriptions and I missed the 5 month advance booking date by a few days and lots of the best sites were already booked. I drove on to Sauble Falls beach with Melodee and the dogs still in bed and we set up a breakfast camp. This beach has been voted the number 1 beach in Ontario and one of the top 10 in Canada. Its really deep and looks to be about 5 miles long. Fine white sand and shallow warm water make it a great place to spend some time. We had decided to move north on the Bruce peninsula to Lion's Head, a small village on the Georgian Bay side, with a fine swimming beach, a picturesque marina and a municipal campground. We got here a little after noon and snagged one of the 2 remaining sites, one right on the water with a great view of the harbor and the 200' limestone bluffs that form one edge of the harbor entrance. We just lazed away the afternoon reading and beaching before cooking a really good supper of salmon, cole slaw, sweet corn and a pasta salad. Desert was my caramelized peaches and blueberries over vanilla ice cream. We are eating like royalty on this trip!
Tomorrow we plan to drive across the peninsula to the Lake Huron side, really very close less than 10 minutes. There is an isolated beach in a little used provincial park that is supposed to be very nice. Looks like another nice breakfast camp spot. Later we'll move north to the Bruce Head Peninsula National Park. Lots of good hiking and swimming there.
