Travel Guide Cortes Island

Even more secluded, 20 minutes by ferry from Quadra Island, Cortes Island is a little corner of paradise for all nature lovers. Its lakes, lagoons, forests, as well as its white sandy beaches are enough to get to the island to explore its natural wealth and observe the wildlife. The island offers you to escape to Manson's Landing Provincial Park and Smelt Bay Provincial Park, perfect for swimming, shell collecting and camping. Renowned for its cuisine, seafood and fish are enjoyed by the water's edge. Cortes Island is a coveted island for local city dwellers who come to recharge their batteries for a day or a weekend, as it is less popular with tourists.
