Travel to Pender
Opportunities abound while visiting
the “Penders!” Together South and
North Pender offer miles of hiking
trails that lead to stunning views.With
33 ocean access points there’s a beach to
explore at every turn.Kayaking is a special
way to appreciate our coastline.You can
also enjoy other types of boating and fishing
excursions or sip an award-winning vintage
at our beautiful winery. Perhaps a round
of golf at our challenging course is a great
way to enjoy the fresh air or play an exciting
round of disc golf through the trees at our
world famous course near Magic Lake.
It’s free! When you’re done, cool off in a
fresh water lake or take a dip in the clean
ocean waters.
Shopping can be found at several
locations.The centrally located Driftwood
centre offers numerous unique shops and
services. A visit to the north end takes you
to Hope Bay and Port Washington historic
While only a short distance from Vancouver
and even shorter from Victoria, you can
instantly relax in the peaceful beauty
of North and South Pender islands
which have so much to offer.

areas while Medicine Beach is a convenient
stop for boaters and visitors alike. Check out
our weekly Farmer’s Market each Saturday
at the Community Hall and stock up on fresh
produce and baking then tour the artisan’s
stalls.There are also many private galleries
and road side stands you’ll discover across
the islands.
If it’s wildlife viewing you’re after then
head to Thieves Bay, a superb lookout spot
to observe the local Orca pods as they swim
by. Seals, otters and deer are common sights
and the bird watching is amazing!
We are a year-round destination with
an annual Fall Fair, concerts, the New
Year’s Eve Lantern Festival and our
popular museum at Roesland. Star-gazing
is spectacular without the distraction of
city lights. Pender is the perfect place to
appreciate nature with exhilarating outdoor
activities or choose pure relaxation in
one of the best climates in Canada!

Pender Island
Car Stop Program: Pender Island is proud of its unique program providing rides for hikers and visitors without their own transport, who can wait at designated stops for a passing motorist to pick them up. Motorists arriving at North Pender on BC Ferries can put a green card on their dashboard indicating they’re willing to take foot passengers.
