One of my favourite spots. The clothing selection is trendy and practical, they have an eclectic selection of high-quality home goods and self-care products that are inspired by the bay. Also, grab a coffee and treat at Chive (Ciboulette et Cie's satellite cafe) and enjoy the stunning views of the Bay. Worth the drive, or do one better and take a water taxi (Georgian Bay Water Service (705)627-3062).
