Activities, Adventure & Recreation
Pender is a paradise for leisurely adventure. Meander along forest trails or climb Mount Normal for stunning views. There are plenty of shore access points and protected bays make the island perfect for paddling and exploring tidal pools. Birdwatching and shore-based whale watching are other favourites.
Bring your clubs and discover Pender’s attractive nine-hole golf course or play disc golf in the forest. Although some roads are steep and winding, there are other areas that offer scenic, moderate cycling routes. Roads are narrow so take extra care.
A creative hub, stop by artists’ studios to enjoy painting, photography, jewellery, glassware, pottery and more. Take in a concert or festival or join in a lively jam session. And don’t miss the museum at Roesland.
