This is the ferry that took us to Protection Island - a very scenic 10 minute ride from the Nanaimo harbour.
The Island has 400 permanent residents, but being small, only about 40 cars, while most of the residents use golf carts! No stores on Protection, just the pub, a marina and gas pumps, as lots of residents have boats and everyone goes to Nanaimo to shop and do business.
The pub floats on the water and has amazing views all round. There are lots of music events held there, and it is huge, so can accommodate large groups.
We had amazing fish and chips and tempura shrimp.......yummy! The couple behind us were from San Diego and were newlyweds!! If you look closely, you can see a tiny stuffed bride and groom on their table, which they proudly carried everywhere with them! Congratulations!
