Cottage is about 150 metres from ocean access down a short hill which you can walk or drive down/up and about 1 km from a fresh water lake known as a training ground for triathletes and competitive swimmers. Bring your kayaks or SUPS, or we are happy to recommend rentals for you to explore the truly magnificent Indian Arm, BC's southernmost fjord. But do bring your water shoes, as some beaches are more pebbly/rocky than sandy and have barnacles and shells! We love to greet our guests whenever possible and help them get oriented to the area. That is something we have enjoyed ourselves as Airbnb guests. But we are also very respectful of our guests privacy and do not intrude. The public bus stops about 25 metres from the cottage.
