Lay on a white sandy beach. Comb the beaches for shells, picnic ashore or go for a hike on one of the well maintained trails. This park offers it all! Great spot for kids. The day will start with a leisurely sail across Sidney Channel to Sidney Island where we will drop the anchor. After a short dingy ride to the marine park dock you will have 2 hours to yourselves exploring on the island! Then it's back to our Sidney Base. Hopefully the breeze blows up through Sidney channel for a spirited return trip.

Upon arrival at Poets Cove at noon you will be able to enjoy lunch on your own, take a swim in the heated outdoor pool or sit in the hot tub over looking the harbour. How about a stroll down the road to check out the “island culture”? The skipper might even catch some Dungeness crab while you enjoy your day on the island! Then its off to Sidney via Swartz Bay and through tranquil Iroquois Pass.
