Things To Do

Enjoy the Beaches of Georgian Bay:

Tiny Township is home to several of Georgian Bay’s most loved beaches, including Balm Beach, Cawaja Beach, and Lafontaine Beach. With soft sand, shallow entry, and remarkably clear water, these beaches are perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or a peaceful walk along the shoreline.

Explore Discovery Harbour:

Step back in time at Discovery Harbour, a restored 19th-century British naval and military base. Costumed interpreters, historic ships, and interactive exhibits bring the area’s maritime past to life.

Walk the Penetanguishene Waterfront:

Stroll along the Penetanguishene Harbour, where scenic boardwalks, marinas, and parks offer beautiful views over the bay. It’s an ideal spot for an evening walk or to watch boats come and go at sunset.

Visit Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons:

Located nearby, this national historic site is a reconstructed 17th-century Jesuit mission and offers deep insight into Indigenous and early European history in the region.

Cycle or Drive the Backroads:

Tiny’s rural roads wind through farmland, forests, and along the bay — perfect for cycling, scenic drives, or discovering small local stands and hidden beach accesses.

Visit the Farmer's Market:

The Penetanguishene Farmers’ Market (seasonal) features local produce, baked goods, preserves, and artisan items, reflecting the strong local food culture of the area.

Check Out the Local Food Scene:

Favourites include the Boathouse Eatery, Dock Lunch, Captain Ken’s Diner, and Phil’s Original Fish & Chips.
