This Park Is A Secret Summer Vacation Spot (And It's Not In The US)

The jagged cliffside on the coast of Bruce Peninsula National Park in Ontario, Canada, is awe-inspiringly beautiful and might be the best place to spend your summer vacation.
For those looking to beat extreme heat in a low-key destination, temperatures in the region are often anywhere from the high 60s to the mid-80s in the summertime.
Spend your warm, sunny days taking in the perfect blue water of Georgian Bay from boardwalks, trails, and sandy beaches, and spend the night camping under the night sky.
As you hike through this park, you'll find chipmunks chittering in the trees, foxes sneaking around the underbrush, and many species of orchids growing wild in the wilderness.
One of the biggest draws is not the beach or woods — it's a sea cave. If you're willing to hike down the cliffs, you can explore the Grotto and look at the fantastic blue waves.
To keep the area from getting too crowded, advance reservations through Park Canada are required for certain activities and sites during the warmer months.
