Tips from locals
A local gem, this walk offers stunning views, beaches and landscapes. A beautiful walk around the island takes about 2 hours at a leisurely pace. There is a small foot passenger ferry service that runs frequently or you can kayak over. Bring a picnic!
Despite being right in the harbour, going to the island feels like you are stepping into another world. There are no cars on the island just bikes and golf buggies. You get the boat over from McGregor Park. It is run by the Dinghy Dock pub.
There is a tiny pub that is the only Float Pub in Canada... families can have a meal here as well.
Take a short ferry to Protection Island and have a meal at the floating Dinghy Dock Pub
