Summertime is best spent on the water in Lund. This picturesque, small town in British Columbia is best known for being the gateway to Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park, British Columbia’s largest marine park with warm waters, calm bays and wildlife that make it a boater’s paradise. With about 37 miles of shoreline, there are many anchorable stops to explore and marine wildlife to see along the way. There’s the Prideaux Haven with islands and small coves, the Tenedos Bay with hiking to freshwater swimming and camping, then Grace Harbour for a more remote camping experience.
If you aren’t at the helm of your own boat, take an exhilarating half- or full-day Zodiac cruise of Desolation Sound with Tarracentric Coastal Adventures, located in Lund.
Back in Lund, the charm is just as memorable. Known as the “End of the Road” at Mile 0 of Highway 101, this tiny seaside village on Tla’amin, Klahoose and Homalco territory welcomes boaters, wanderers and anyone craving a famous blackberry cinnamon bun (at Nancy’s Bakery). Dine on fresh seafood with a water view at The Boardwalk Café. Stay at the historic Lund Resort at Klah Ah Men, a waterfront retreat perfectly positioned for exploring the Sound and the Sunshine Coast.
