The Comox Marina and adjacent Goose Spit Park create one of Vancouver Island's most picturesque coastal destinations, combining recreational boating, sandy beaches, and spectacular Strait of Georgia views. Goose Spit's unique sand spit extends into Comox Harbour, creating protected swimming beaches on both sides while offering panoramic views across the strait to mainland mountains.
Goose Spit Regional Park features 1.5 kilometers of sandy shoreline perfect for swimming, beachcombing, and tidal exploration. The park's shallow, warm waters make it ideal for families with young children, while the windward side attracts kiteboarding and windsurfing enthusiasts during summer afternoon winds.
The Comox Marina serves as homeport to hundreds of recreational vessels and the local fishing fleet, supporting Vancouver Island's thriving salmon and halibut fishing industry. The marina provides boat launch facilities, moorage, and marine services, making Comox a premier boating destination for both local residents and visiting cruisers.
Walking trails connect the marina to Goose Spit, providing scenic routes for jogging, dog walking, and sunset strolls. The area hosts community events including the Nautical Days Festival, featuring boat races, live music, and waterfront celebrations showcasing Comox's maritime heritage.
For Comox Valley real estate buyers, proximity to the marina and Goose Spit significantly enhances property values.
