About the terminal

Salt Spring's north-west shore is 2.8 nautical miles from here, twenty-five minutes by ferry to Vesuvius Bay, which makes this the mid-Island approach to the island rather than the southern one from Swartz Bay to Fulford Harbour. Salt Spring keeps three terminals and the choice between them depends on which side you start from; Long Harbour, 14 km from here, faces the mainland and the other Gulf Islands. Chemainus, 9 km up the coast, is a separate terminal altogether and goes to Thetis and Penelakut.
