The Broughtons Archipelago is an extensive group of islands located off the north end of Vancouver Island. This complex cruising ground offers numerous protected anchorages and scenic passages. Small family-run marinas like Lagoon Cove are a delight. Some marinas were previous logging camps like Jennis Bay, while others form a floating community like adorable Sullivan Bay. Echo Bay, owned and operated by a First Nations band, continues to be on the list of favorites. Native culture is found throughout the islands in pictographs, Native ruins, and today’s Native villages. For the latest updates, see the table below.
