Beautiful place to hike to anytime of the year, just a beautiful spot with amazing views. Hike from the Groto is easy and doesn't take long.
A bit of a hike up from the grotto across the Stoney beach, it can be a bit more difficult to get to due to the terrain, but it’s quieter and also offers some great views! There’s some very cool rock features here that are worth checking out if you can make the extra 45 minutes from the grotto.
It was such an experience to home from little cove to the grotto and see all of this finally.
We hike along the bruce trail and definitely need giood shoes. Part of the trail is rocky beach.
Bit of a climb from the beach but it is maximum around 30 min from Grotto. Lots of bugs and good idea to carry bugs spray.
View is amazing . No access to water from this place.

Unbelievable place, I was like are we in Ontario or I’m dreaming. I 100% recommend it to you guys but just make sure that you wear suitable shoes.
Hiking here from the grotto is not a challenge like the map indicates, as long as you have sure footing (due to the rocky beach) you will enjoy the spectacular views along the hike as the trail takes you up and over the cliffs, the first sight you will see is the hidden swimming cave from above before you make your way across the rocky beach and up into the hills. Once you reach the point you can walk 3 minutes further if you want a good place to take pictures of your friends who are sitting on the overhanging point. Overall very recommended, spectacular views and an enjoyable hike!
Jan 2022 - Although the highlight of Bruce Peninsula Provincial Park is the Grotto, the overhanging point is definitely worth the hike, even during the winter. You get much higher relatively to the other portions of the park, and you get some very neat views you wouldn't elsewhere. It's likely only an extra 30min one way from the Boulder Beach with many viewing points along the way!
Beautiful views! Walked walked from our campsite to overhanging point with a recommendation from who checked us in that we should go for sunset.
Since everything is rocky during the walk, it took much longer than they estimated.
Even so, what a beautiful sunset view!
If you do it during that time, make sure you walk back before it’s too dark and bring good lighting for your way back.
