Penrose Island Marine Provincial Park

Penrose Island Marine Provincial Park lies on British Columbia’s Central Coast, on the north side of the entrance to Rivers Inlet at the south end of Fitz Hugh Sound, about 86 kilometres north of Port Hardy. Accessible only by boat, it protects both land and surrounding waters, including 934 hectares of land and 1,079 hectares of marine area. Its anchorages are entered from the eastern side, while the western shore faces the open ocean and is more exposed. The park is known for small-boat exploration by dinghy or kayak, as well as nature viewing, scuba diving, and visits to beaches and nearby islets.
