Just offshore from downtown Nanaimo, Protection Island is a small, walkable community known for its quiet trails, beaches, and harbour views. The island is accessible by passenger ferry and features a loop of paths passing through forest, shoreline, and viewpoints like Gallows Point Light Park. It’s a peaceful escape from the city, perfect for an easy half-day walk surrounded by coastal scenery.

Access to Protection Island is by foot-passenger ferry or private boat from downtown Nanaimo. The Protection Island Ferry departs from the Nanaimo Harbour near the Port Theatre and runs roughly every 30 minutes, with crossings taking about 10 minutes each way. Tickets are purchased onboard (cash only), and bikes, pets, and small gear are allowed — though space is limited during peak times. Private vessels may dock at the island’s public marina, but overnight moorage is limited and subject to local regulations.
