Shingle Spit is a pebbly gravel-bar beach and Hornby Island’s main ferry landing for visitors. The spit is a year‑round wildlife haven, where you’ll likely see plenty of seals, sea lions, cormorants, and dozens of bald eagles during the herring spawn. Just steps from the ferry dock sits Thatch Pub and Restaurant, the island’s only full-service pub with a waterfront deck, making it the perfect lunch spot to enjoy some local fare and take in the scenery during a day of hiking in this beautiful area.
