After rounding beautiful Garden
Peninsula and entering Garden Bay, the floats of Garden Bay Restaurant
and
Pub will come into view at the head of the bay. Visitors to this calm,
protected bay will find 1500' of guest moorage with 15 and 30 ampere
power
and water. On shore, vacationers are, most likely, relaxing under a
patio
umbrella with a beverage and pub fare, or are in the dining room
experiencing the gourmet cuisine that began when the new chef arrived
from
Whistler. Visitors have described the food as "five-star". Pub hours are
from 11:00 a.m. daily and the restaurant is open for dinner from 5:00
p.m.
daily. To add to the festivities, live entertainment (from the long
weekend
in March though mid-September) is another weekend ingredient on the
menu.
Nearby diversions include hiking trails, fresh water swimming, and golf.
For
those who would like to learn the inner secrets of the Pender Harbour
vicinity and its legendary fishing grounds, fishing and dive charters can
be
arranged. Garden Bay Marina is a good place to meet friends who arrive
by
car, bus, or float plane. Charter flights can be arranged. Their slogan
is
"A Lot of Everything!" Open year around, seven days a week.
