Fathom Five National Marine Park

Established to protect the numerous shipwrecks, lighthouses and islands around Tobermory, this was the first park of its kind in Canada. Though the 22 wrecks in crystal-clear waters make for a diver's paradise, the park is best known for the much-loved Flowerpot Island with its top-heavy 'flowerpot' formations, eroded by waves over the centuries.
