Sidney Spit Marine Park
The first night of a local cruise in the Southern Gulf Islands. We're on a Bahamian Mooring (as always) in the natural harbour between Sidney Spit and the lagoon - a very popular local spot. The sand of Sidney Spit is beautifully fine and soft, and it's an easy hop from the town of Sidney-by-the-Sea. One of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, there's camping on the island if you've got a permit, but we spend the night aboard Crescendo, in comfort.

Great BC Beaches Sidney Spit
Sidney Spit Marine Park is part of Sidney Island, which is part of the Gulf Island archipelago between Vancouver Island, BC and the mainland. Sidney Spit Marine Park features some amazing hikes and beaches, and some camping and picnicking spots. The tap water in the park is slightly saline and needs to be boiled, so you likely want to bring some drinking water with you. Rumor has it that the water has just the right amount of salt in it to boil up really good pasta.
The Sidney Spit Ferry goes between the town of Sydney, BC and Sidney Island in the warmer months of the year.
There used to be a brick factory on Sidney Island, which explains all the bricks on the one beach, and the stacks of bricks that hikers have piled up here and there.

Sidney BC Sunset Bike Ride Around Waterfront and Town
This is a bike ride through beautiful Sidney British Columbia at sunset on an uncrowded Tuesday evening. The video is in a 2x speed timelaspe (double the actual speed). Some parts looks like I was being reckless around pedestrians and on sidewalks but it wasn't the case. The double speed just makes it look that way. I was actually not riding my bike on the sidewalks but scooting along on one pedal where people weren't in the equation. Respect goes a long way, especially in a quaint little town such as Sidney. We stayed at the Beacon Inn bed & breakfast. Highly recommended!

Leisure Day at Sidney Spit, BC
Sidney Sea Glass Beach & Pier || Vancouver Island
The town of Sidney is a picturesque seaside village with boardwalks, seafood cafes, and quaint shopping streets. Our favourite part, however, was the Sidney Sea Glass beach and the accompanying pier where fisherman hauled up cages filled with Dungeness Crab. It was a great way to spend a morning!
Join Marti from 'Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel' as she and her family explore the shoreline of Sidney, collecting sea glass and learning how to fish for crab. To read more about crabbing rules and regulations, what to expect at the Sea Glass beach visit Marti's blog at
