This area is famous for its fabulous sunsets. Every Friday night in July and August you can hear the skirl of a bagpiper under the giant flag at the foot of High Street, a tradition which started in the late 1990’s. Also in July and August you can meet at the flag on Tuesday nights at sunset and take in a ghost walk! Take a stroll with the ghost walkers and listen to chilling tales of Southamptons past. This makes for a wonderful summer experience for all. During the summer and early fall, the beaches are full of people who have come to see the colourful sunsets lighting up the sky over the lake. Southampton, a popular summer getaway, is close to Chantry Island, Port Elgin, Saugeen First Nation and Sauble Beach.
