The Island, as we call it, is actually a chain of fifteen small islands connected by bridges. It is one of our favourite places to spend the day. Start out early and grab the ferry at the foot of Bay Street (we can give you more detailed instructions, just let us know). Bring a bike, or rent one once your across. Or enjoy a nice walk through the parks and beaches. There's even an amusement park in the summer months that is ideal if you have small children.
