Kincardine.

Kincardine sits on the open Lake Huron coast at the mouth of the Penetangore River in Bruce County, between Goderich to the south and Saugeen Shores to the north. The 1881 Kincardine Lighthouse — the only "downtown" lighthouse on the Bruce County coast — stands above the harbour at the river mouth, and from July 1 through August 31 the Phantom Piper plays a sunset bagpipe lament from the lighthouse every night except Saturday, a tradition that has run since 1996.

Saturdays are reserved for the Kincardine Scottish Pipe Band Parade, which has marched from the Kincardine Legion up Queen Street to Victoria Park since 1972. Station Beach, a short walk from downtown, has been named one of Canada's top destinations for surfing by Surfer Today, with the South Pier acting as a wind block for northwesterly Lake Huron swell.

Inverhuron Provincial Park, twenty minutes north, runs three campgrounds and a sand beach across 288 hectares; the Penetangore River through downtown is a brown trout, rainbow trout, and spring-salmon fishery in Fisheries Management Zone 16. Kincardine sits on the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation.
