Mud Bay Dock

Mud Bay Dock is the community dock serving Protection Island, a small residential island just a short hop across the harbour from downtown Nanaimo. If you're heading over to Protection Island or picking someone up, this is where you tie up — it's the main link between the island and the city. The setting is low-key and local, with the island's tight-knit neighbourhood right at your doorstep.
