If you were to search for glorious mountainside and endless greenery, many of the pictures you find would be from Pender Island. The island resembles a postcard picture of picturesque views and stunning scenery; whole days can be spent wandering aimlessly in the sea of natural beauty that engulfs the landscape. Many use the island to escape from the stresses of modern life, whether it’s relaxing by the lake with a picnic or embarking on a leisurely stroll on one of the abundance of walking trails. As well as the array of challenging hikes and spectacular views, the island is perfect for finding a spot on the beach to bask in the summer sun. Many coves and small caves are dotted around the shoreline for those that like to spend their time exploring their surroundings, and for visitors who are adept at watersports, snorkelling and scuba diving is available. After a day of activity, it is worthwhile heading to one of the restaurants to sample delicious local food; sea food is typically served as the day’s special, offering dishes that are fresh from the waters.
The island is so small that it is possible to cover much of it by foot, which is the popular choice considering the idyllic environment.
Against the exponential growth of the technological world, Tsawwassen is like travelling back to simpler times; a bird sanctuary is the most famous attraction, the houses display an authentically Canadian heritage and the main pastimes for locals and visitors are traversing the hillside on two wheels or embarking on a hike up one of the challenging walking trails. For a more leisurely stroll, Centennial Beach affords a picturesque view of the expanding horizon, as well as picnic facilities and opportunities for a friendly game of beach volleyball. Make sure you head there when the weather is desirable – the surrounding water can create a frosty chill on the cooler days. Hiking and mountain biking offer adventure for the adrenaline junkies, but for those who prefer to explore on water, windsurfing has become part of the coastline’s make-up; locals will inform you of the best times to set sail on the beautiful Boundary Bay. After a tiring day in the great outdoors, try out one of the fine restaurants, typically serving seafood as the speciality dish.
The town is very small and can easily be covered on bike or on foot.
