Ford's Cove Marina is a small, sheltered harbour on Hornby Island’s southwest shore, beside a sandstone-and-gravel beach, popular for swimming, tide-pool exploring, and watching winter storms, sunsets, and passing wildlife such as sea lions, orcas, and seabirds. It’s a community hub and a gateway for boaters, with restrooms, picnic tables and a general store that also serves fish and chips, making it a perfect scenic lunch spot. The dock pilings are a nesting habitat for purple martins, so keep an eye out for them while you’re here.
