There's been a lot of chatter recently about the gentrification of smaller resort towns shifting to service wealthier visitors from larger cities. It's probably worth its own thread, but Wellington falls into that category more than Tobermory.

It is. I don't usually spend much time in the town itself -- I might visit the trading post and walk around the harbour, grab a coffee, but that's it. Next visit I'll probably be with my wife and we'd likely do the tourist thing and have a bite to eat too.
For me it's the scenery. The lighthouse on the point across Big Tub Harbour, trails and lookout tower at Fathom Five park, and stops along the route there (Dunks Bay, Singing Sands, Bruce national park). It's also neat to drive some of the residential roads that meander along the Lake Huron shore. There are some on the Georgian Bay side too but I don't think I've gone down them yet.
