Description
This small island in Howe Sound, a mix of residential areas and forest, is linked to the mainland by ferry from Horseshoe Bay. The ferry docks at the island’s main settlement, aptly named Snug Cove, which has all the services of a small town. There’s good swimming at nearby Mannion Bay, but the rest of island is also good to explore. A 1.2-mile walking trail leads from Snug Cove to Killarney Lake, where birdlife is prolific and roads lead across to the island’s west coast.
