A sunset in Honey Harbour is a one of kind Georgian Bay experience that makes one imagine how the area was named.


The origin of names requires a study of many disciplines. Trying to determine the origin of Honey Harbour is a challenge and has many different interpretations, especially with an American spelling of Honey Harbor.

Possibly it was named on the eve of the summer solstice around June 22, in the mid 1800's at Georgian Bay's first outdoor marriage. Mead, an alcoholic drink made from honey, a European tradition in celebration of marriage dating back to the Celts, was being consumed in large quantities. After the ceremony the young couple was bold enough to name the location Honey Harbour. The young couple canoed across the channel naming it Honeymoon Channel, and then proceeded into Georgian Bay to the perfect bay to spend the night. It was named Honeymoon Bay on Beausoleil Island.
Information on Honey Harbour.

Honey Harbour is one of the Southern Georgian Bay villages. The villages of Port Severn, Port McNichol, Waubashene, Victoria Harbour are accessible along highway 12 as you drive from Honey Harbour to the towns of Midland and Penetanquishene in the west. It is actually faster to travel to Midland by boat, as Midland is directly across the Bay from Honey Harbour.
