Welcome to Penetanguishene

Penetanguishene met its boom era shortly before and after the turn of the century. The vast timber resources and convenient harbour brought such names as Beck, McGibbons, Gropp, Tessier and Firstbrook.

Today, Penetanguishene has a rich heritage of cultures and people. Recognized as having one of the most beautiful and protected harbours, it is a haven for boating enthusiasts. Come and explore our Gateway to the 30,000 Islands and let us show you small town hospitality.

It is hard to imagine a more ideal setting for summer theatre with the breathtaking natural beauty and historic significance of Discovery Harbour.

At the King's Wharf Theatre, you will experience the same high standard of theatrical entertainment that theatregoers in our other locations across Ontario have come to expect.

Just steps from the theatre, is Captain Roberts' Table, a charming air-conditioned restaurant, offering outstanding friendly service in a comfortable atmosphere, with yet another spectacular view of the Bay.

Nipissing Bluff drops 60 metres into Georgian Bay.

Across the water is Giant's Tomb, an island where the spirit Kitchikewana rests.

Below the bluff, sand, cobble and boulder beaches in sheltered Methodist Point Bay offer the best swimming. Like the kettle lake inland, they are signs of a glaciated past.

From the shoreline fen to forest bog, on spirit walks and owl prowls, explore a unique convergence of wildlife and geography.
