Union Bay, Fanny Bay and Royston

These seaside communities are just a short drive South of Courtenay and claim some of the most stunning views and beach walks. The Royston seaside trail follows the water line and takes you past the “Royston Wrecks” and through many opportunities to enjoy the local wildlife. Union Bay is home to the historic Union Bay Post office and to heritage homes. Driving on to Fanny Bay you will see the busy oyster growers and producers at work and all those gorgeous ocean along the way. Grab a bite to eat at the pub or coffee shop, take the ferry to Denman or Hornby, or drive into Courtenay to enjoy more amenities. These three areas offer the advantage of feeling like you live in your own secluded community, and yet have the convenience of being close to town
