Park
Info:
This area is popular with boaters for swimming, viewing,
diving, fishing and wilderness camping. Hardy Island Marine
provides
a safe anchorage and is only an island at high tide. A park
bench located on Hardy Island Marine provides an excellent
spot
to sit and take in the beautiful scenery of the area. The
warm, clean and green waters surrounding the area are reminiscent
of a more tropical place. This park is subject to southeast
winds during the winter; use caution when anchoring. As
the anchorage is known as the Hardy Island Anchorage, the
Council of British Columbia Yacht Clubs requested that the
name of the park be changed. On October 21, 2004, the Legislative
Assembly passed Bill 74 to officially change the name.
