boaters:

With its many protected bays and coves, over 160 km of shoreline, marine parks, three government wharfs including one with showers, bathrooms, and a pump-out station, as well as an assortment of pubs and resorts, Pender Harbour is the ideal boating destination. Don’t have a boat; no problem: rent your own motorboat from Sunshine Coast Resort, or take a tour of the harbour on the Slocat Harbour Tourboat, book a trip to Chatterbox Falls in stunning Princess Louisa Inlet or check out Skookumchuck Narrows. It’s not called “strong water” for nothing: tidal flows reach speeds up to 16 knots! Click to view best viewing times.

fishers:

Both salt and freshwater fishing are readily available. There are 6 freshwater lakes in the area, and Pender Harbour Charters will escort you to the best fishing spots on the ocean. Or see Rick at Gulf Rascal Charters. Don’t forget your fishing license – you can get it here.

divers:

British Columbia offers some of the best diving in the world, and Pender Harbour offers some of its premier dive sites. See the BC Recreation website for details.

for “parkers”:

You can either just “park” here in your comfortable and well-appointed suite, soak in the hot tub, read a book (if you forgot to bring one, we have a small collection) or go to explore one of the many wonderful parks in the area. Pender Harbour-Egmont has more parks than any other area of the Sunshine Coast; simply too many to list, but you can get information on them all here.

for art lovers:

There are over a dozen art studios in the immediate area. For further information visit
