Hamilton Beach – Pender Island

Hamilton Beach is a perfect little stopping spot for visitors to Pender Island. In one small are you can walk the beach, watch the boats go by, and visit the pub for a bite to eat. Look carefully at low tide, and you might even spot a starfish.

Winter on the West Coast

The weather today was too spectacular and just had to be shared. What started as a few flakes ended up as a proper snowfall. It is hard to explain how magical it is to walk on a snow covered beach with only the sound of falling snow and foghorns.

Impromptu Island Trip 

We decided to take an impromptu trip to the island this weekend. It had only been 16 days since the last trip, but the coast was calling. Everything aligned, I had a customer to meet in Vancouver, so it seemed like a fun thing to do.

Being such a quick trip we really didn’t focus on getting anything “done” on the house or yard. Instead we had a fun Saturday.

Paddling Day – Pender Island

Today was paddling day. The sun came out, the wind calmed down, and the waves of the previous days had disappeared. It was the perfect Pender Island day to spend on the water.

A day with so much to see: herons, eagles, a crab, starfish and seals. The kayak gives the opportunity to see things you can’t see from the shore.
