Great outdoor locale, where the tourists rarely roam. Great walk on the breakwater after dinner or watch the local commercial fisherman unload their daily catch. Great family eatery and outing. (Fish and chips, salmon salad or pork tacos :)

This is sooo fun if you love being out on the ocean and wild life! Check their website to see what whales they are seeing, but the dolphin watching is amazing here, the channel hosts a pod of 30,000 common dolphins, so spectacular to see them fly along side the boat. Their boat is super stable and comfortable, the naturalist on board is wonderful. You won't be disappointed! Early morning trips are always best, bring a warm layer in case it's windy.
