July Sunsets on the Bay


Early July skies show off Georgian Bay more than any other time of the year.

With the sun setting after 9:00 pm, we watched the sky turn multiple shades of purple and pink. A few lone boats glided down the Killarney Channel after a sunset cruise, and the water lapped against the dock near the centre of town.

Killarney's famous landmark, Herbert Fisheries, shone in the evening light, just before the sun set. Visitors are flocking to the site of this well-known eatery. The Herberts head out each morning at 6:00 am on the dot, looking for whitefish. This is a local favourite, along with trout and pickerel, which is served in many local restaurants in Killarney. It makes me hungry just thinking about it!

Enjoy summer nights on Georgian Bay.
