One of the best "activities" to enjoy is boat watching. This exceptional location allows for hours of endless enjoyment watching boats going by. Not only is the harbor of Nanaimo a popular stop for boaters cruising the gulf islands it is also Vancouver Islands main port for shipping goods to and from the Island.
Newcastle Island, located directly north of Protection, is a Marine Provincial Park and when the tide is low enough is accessible by land from Protection. When the tide is high there is an hourly ferry that runs to this island where you can picnic, swim, bike or hike.
If you didn't already stop on the way here, it's essential to visit the Dinghy Dock Pub when you're staying on Protection Island. Canada's only floating pub offers great local food and live music. There is a special section for kids and they can even go fishing right through the dock while you wait for your meal to arrive!
If you like to kayak, or even if you've never tried it before, Protection Island Beach House offers an exceptional launch for any level of kayaker. Let us know ahead of time and we can have the kayaks dropped off at our beach and even arrange lessons. This put in is the gateway to many scenic day trips in one of Vancouver Islands premier kayaking grounds, the southern gulf islands.
