Southampton

Southampton occupies the Lake Huron shore at the mouth of the Saugeen River in Ontario. Now part of the municipality of Saugeen Shores, it is a low-lying lakeside community where the broad river meets one of the Great Lakes. Its harbour and long sandy beach give the town a maritime character, while the river is used for boating, paddling and seasonal fishing. Offshore, Chantry Island is marked by its 1859 lighthouse, one of the historic Imperial Towers built to guide shipping on Lake Huron. The Saugeen River has long been important to the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, whose traditional territory includes this stretch of shore.
