Bicycles and Dogs Not Allowed, In Season or Off Season, Ontario, Canada
The Saugeen Shores (Bruce Peninsula)
Straight after Labor Day, the Bruce Peninsula is very peaceful. Also, it’s still warm enough to enjoy the beach—that’s if you don’t have a bicycle or dog. Reminders are everywhere: Port Elgin, Southampton, Sauble Park.
At Sauble Park, this is the longest parking lot I’ve ever seen on a shoreline. Do all the cars that fill it, in season, do less damage than bicycles and dogs, out-of-season?
As summertime approaches, better not to make the drive with dog(s) or bicycle(s) unless you’re sure they’ll be welcome at the destination you’re visiting. If traveling in Ontario, please realize that options may be limited if cycling and dogs are essential to your enjoyment for a day-trip or vacation.
