Navigation information

Pacific Playgrounds Marina is located near the entrance to Vancouver Island’s Discovery Passage, adjacent to and immediately south of Oyster River estuary at 49 degrees 52′ N, 125 degrees 7′ W. Channel markers are present, and the depth is most shallow by the outermost post. You’ll need a minimum tide of seven feet for a boat with a draft of 4.5’. The tide reference table is Mitlenatch Island. The channel is narrow and exposed to S.E. winds, so it is not advisable to attempt passage during high swells or winds.
