Saugeen Shores is a town in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. The town is popular with visitors because of its beaches on Lake Huron, and the availability of summer cottages. It is also close to MacGregor Point Provincial Park, which has a seven-kilometre stretch of coast, coastal wetlands, forests, and dunes.

Accessible only by tour boat, Chantry Island lies approximately a kilometer off the shore of Southampton. Tours to this lighthouse require pre-booking and pre-payment, with only authorized tour groups permitted on the island.
Regarded as one of the best places in Ontario to watch the sunset. From Northshore Park to the harbour and along the public beachfront, sunset viewing vistas are plentiful. The hard surface pathways make easy walking too.
Recreational activities include camping, hiking, cycling, canoeing, and kayaking. Some carnivorous plants grow in the park. Rare dwarf lake iris and the elusive spotted turtle appear in the spring. Migrating birds, including the black-crowned night heron and the great egret, have been spotted as well.
