Visit the picturesque and still active, wooden Big Tub Lighthouse. Established in 1885, the lighthouse has long served seafarers sailing in these often-treacherous waters. Set on a stunning bay of clear waters, with splendid rock formations, the lighthouse provides a backdrop for refreshing swims--if you don't mind the cold seawater.. Consider bringing along a picnic to enjoy in this location and certainly bring your camera with you to capture this photogenic area.

Picturesque lighthouse in Tobermory. Beautiful scenery. Easily accessible - SUPER busy in the summer. Paid parking, but you don't have to pay if you don't feel like it. Nothing will happen. Beach access.
