Great view of Dodds Narrows and Sea Lions here! Beautiful hike.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateBeautiful views from the point. We always see sea lions and other wildlife. It's a popular hike.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateGreat walk, it’s fun to watch the boats struggle through Dodd Narrows.
🏴 Flag as inappropriateTime your visit with the tide schedule depending on what you want to do or see. There were sea lions playing in the current - full body breaching - and deer came out to the shore on Mudge Island. It's a beautiful view of the islands (Gabriola, Mudge, and Tent Islands). Easy hike too!
🏴 Flag as inappropriateI love the Cable Bay-Joan Point hike out to Dodds Narrows. The tide through the Narrows is a sight to watch. When a boat or two joins the tide, it is remarkable.
This trip we watched a tug with a boom of logs, just after slacktide had ended. Even with the tug's powerful engine, the tide was a challenge.
