Kincardine -
where you're a
stranger only once
By Sandra Forster
Kincardine's lighthouse (left) is one of the most photographed in Bruce County
while the harbour attracts dozens of pleasure craft.
SInce the town of Kincardine on
the shores of beautiful Lake
Huron depends on tourists in
the summer season, the townsfolk
create a welcoming atmosphere by
greeting people on the streets and
making them feel at home so that if
this is their first visit to the town, it
won't be their last. Hence, the motto
— where you're a stranger only once.
And there are plenty of reasons for
people to visit Kincardine.
Landmarks such as the Kincardine,
and nearby Point Clark lighthouses
provide unique attractions for tourists
coming to the area. The water's edge
offers the best scenery from north to
south — Stoney Point Conservation
Area with lakeside nature trails, and
Lover's Lane lined with flowers
wanders past the Kincardine beach
pavilion, famous for its dance floor
and Bluewater Summer Playhouse.
The PUC Rock Garden is a favourite
spot for photographers and Tiny Tot
Park, for the children. There's the
new Penetangore Path along the river,
motor- and sail -boats in the harbour,
and the Boardwalk on Station Beach.
