The closest city to Tobermory is Owen Sound, 100 km south of Tobermory and connected by Highway 6. Due to similar harbor conditions it was named after Tobermory (; (スコットランド・ゲール語:Tobar Mhoire)), the capital of the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. The community is known as the "fresh water SCUBA diving capital of the world" because of the numerous shipwrecks that lie in the surrounding waters, especially in Fathom Five National Marine Park. Tobermory and the surrounding area are popular vacation destinations. People come for the beaches, the diving, the unspoilt countryside and the relaxed pace of life. The town lies north of the Bruce Peninsula National Park. The ''MS Chi-Cheemaun'' passenger-car ferry connects Tobermory to Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron. Tobermory is also the northern terminus of the Bruce Trail, and has twin harbours, known locally as "Big Tub" and "Little Tub".
