About the terminal

The island has a berth at each end, and this is the far one: traffic landing from Buckley Bay crosses Denman by road, the two terminals 9 km apart, and sails on from here to Hornby Island, ten minutes and 1.2 nautical miles over Lambert Channel. The Hornby fare is collected on this side. For anyone travelling only as far as Denman the terminal is a place to pass through rather than arrive at, and Shingle Spit is 2 km across the channel.
