Bute Island

Bute Island is a tiny 0.9-hectare island sitting right in Ladysmith Harbour — anchor off and you've got front-row views of the Gulf Islands and the mountain backdrop beyond. It became a regional park only in 2018, so it still feels like a quiet find rather than a tourist draw. The easy shoreline trail loops around in under a mile, making it a great excuse to stretch your legs and take in the scenery.
