Located between the sandy shores of Lake Huron and the rocky cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment on Georgian Bay, South Bruce Peninsula is a diverse community rich in history and natural beauty. Formed in 1999 through the amalgamation of Wiarton, Hepworth, Albemarle, and Amabel, the township is home to vibrant towns like Sauble Beach and Wiarton, as well as smaller villages and hamlets including Allenford, Colpoy’s Bay, Oliphant, and Red Bay.

Residents enjoy a unique blend of small-town charm, outdoor recreation, and a strong sense of community. With part of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, within its borders, South Bruce Peninsula values conservation while supporting sustainable growth. Festivals, local events, and economic initiatives reflect the township’s commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing the future.
