If you’re thinking Easter you might be thinking baby chicks and baby bunnies. In Secret Cove your more likely to find millions of baby star fish.
There are clusters of baby starfish everywhere, like these groupings just below the Rockwater Resort.
Sometimes there’s a bit of a renegade who doesn’t fit in with the group, and strikes out on his own.
Pender Hill is a small bluff just above Irvine’s Landing at the entrance to Pender Harbour. A 30 minute hike (which is up virtually every step) commands a great view of the Harbour.
A 30 to 60 minute hike to the summit, depending upon your stops to take in the cliff edge views.
Impressive second growth forest trails lead to some great vistas: How Sound, Georgia Strait, Keats Island, Bowen Island and Vancouver Island.
Soames Hill from the Gibsons wharf.
Through the Forest…..
up the hill … Many, many, many steps
Keats Island
Gibson’s Harbour….
Breakfast at Laverne’s
Just a few steps from the dock in Hospital Bay
The view of Hospital Bay is kitschy and kozy
A well marked path is good to find
Especially when it marks the route to the pub across the street in Garden Bay
Twin Bridges
If a only all pub routes had this kind of infrastructure
A difficult choice marks the end of the trail…
Cute as a bug’s ear! Isn’t that what a flaky real estate agent might write about this little beach?
At any rate this little pocket beach is just a “stone’s throw” from the Halfmoon Bay General Store. It was great for sitting on log or playing in the sand on this great spring day. Q
Great sun today. A little late day cloud had us thinking in a copper hue. A moment of reflection with Thormanby Island off in the distance.
