Ocean
To get to the ocean there are a few different beaches we like to visit which are about a 10-15 minute walk from the cabin past Hotel Lake.
- Walk towards Hotel Lake and continue walking on Hotel Lake Road until Irvines Landing Road. Turn left at Irvines Landing Road (old schoolhouse) and stick to the right of the fork onto Lee Road. There are two small little rock bays to hang out at alongside the road. We love bringing drinks and having happy hour here.

Ocean 2
Take Irvine Landing Road all the way towards the water and there’s another small beach near Keelson Road between two cabins or stay on Irvines Landing Road and you will come across PODS (Pender Harbour Ocean Discovery Station) where there’s a big pier and park benches.
