Friday Harbour is a waterfront resort with a fun little promenade full of spots to eat and grab a drink. You can rent canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards, or head out for a walk through the 200-acre nature preserve with lots of trails to explore. If you’re into golf, there’s also a semi-private course on site called The Nest that’s perfect for a relaxed round.
Check out Centennial Park for an easy beach day. There’s a paved path for walking or biking, beach volleyball courts, a playground, and plenty of space to relax by the water. You’ll also find concession stands, picnic tables and a pavilion, washrooms, and parking—everything you need for a laid-back afternoon.
