Saugeen Shores

Saugeen Shores is best known within Ontario for its Lake Huron shoreline, centred on the beach communities of Port Elgin and Southampton. The Saugeen River meets the lake at Southampton, where its broad mouth has long shaped local boating and fishing. Offshore, Chantry Island is marked by the white Chantry Island Lighthouse, first lit in 1859; it remains a defining landmark of this stretch of Bruce County coast. Port Elgin’s harbour and the waterfronts of both communities give the municipality a distinctly Great Lakes character, while nearby farmland places it firmly in southwestern Ontario.
