Condominiums overlooking Schooner Cove Marina in Nanoose
.
Location and Attractions:
The location of Schooner Cove on the east coast of Vancouver Island makes it
the perfect place from which to explore the many popular destinations of south
western British Columbia. Being equi-distant from Vancouver, Victoria and the
West Coast, travel times are reduced to a minimum. Thirty minutes drive from
your condo will find you in Nanaimo where the ferries shuttle across the
Straights of Georgia, a pleasant one and a half hour sail to Vancouver, British
Columbia's magnificent cosmopolitan showpiece.
The quaint "English" capitol city of Victoria is seventy miles to the south.
Once there you can shop for fine British woollens, ride in a horse drawn
carriage around the bustling waterfront, enjoy an authentic English tea in the
stately Empress Hotel and visit the superb B.C. Museum with it's magnificent
display of aboriginal history.To the West you can take a drive through majestic
rain forests with trees older than the Magna Carta on your journey to the
fabled West Coast of Vancouver Island. This area is called the "Graveyard of
the Pacific" because of the hundreds of ships wrecked here over the centuries.
Watch the waves thunder ashore on the silver strand of Long Beach in the
Pacific Rim National Park, take a Whale watching tour to see, and sometimes
even
touch a whale migrating down the coast to their breeding grounds in Baja
California Mexico.
Catch a salmon!, eat a freshly shucked oyster!, touch a whale! It's all here.
It's all for real.
For the photographer and wild life enthusiast the eagles, mink, deer, seals,
otters and orcas are all seen on a
regular basis - many of them daily!
Back at the condo, whatever your interests are, Schooner Cove is guaranteed to
to fill the bill. The area is a golfers' paradise (the nearest of many golf
courses, "Fairwinds", is a five minute walk from your condo).Tennis, fishing,
boating and kayaking are all literally on the doorstep. In the winter months,
November through April, the Mt. Washington ski resort (sixty miles to the
north), offers world class skiing on a mountain that boasts more snow than any
other facility on the west coast.
The Schooner Cove Resort Hotel, next door to the condominium complex, offers a
variety of services including
a Dining Lounge, Coffee Shop, Beer & Wine Outlet, Swimming Pool and Fitness
Center.
