Online Guest Concierge On-Call Emergency Onsite Team Contactless check-in Casa Giulia is located in Pike Bay, a quiet, forested bay along the rugged shoreline of Lake Huron in the heart of the Northern Bruce Peninsula. Known for its natural beauty and rich history, Pike Bay today is a mix of peaceful year-round homes, seasonal cottages, and a growing tourism scene. This region was historically used for logging and hunting in the late 19th century, when large barges would enter this small bay to service the timber industry. One of the most notable events was the 1883 shipwreck of the barge Etta and the steamer Eclipse, a tragic storm that claimed the lives of the Eclipse’s crew while the Etta ran aground on nearby Little Pike Bay beach. This shipwreck history continues to attract shipwreck enthusiasts and history buffs to the area. Today, Pike Bay is a haven for travelers looking to explore the breathtaking wonders of the Bruce Peninsula.
