A fantastic day trip in nice weather. Easy to do in an afternoon and the ferry goes several times a day. Visit the Quarries for a turquoise water swim. Shelter Point and Blubber Bay are lovely.

Nancy's Bakery has great cinnamon buns, Pollen Sweaters has beautiful merino wool sweaters (we have several) and there is a couple of restaurants, a nice walk and the water taxi to Savary Island. Well worth the day trip- about 30 minutes by car from the suite.
