The Grotto is one of the most popular scenic destinations in all of Ontario. This is an area of rocky cliffs and carved out caves along the Georgian Bay side of Bruce Peninsula. Although it’s not possible to swim in or explore the caves right now, The Grotto is still beautiful enough to warrant a visit.
