Marina: Port Browning

A few miles North of popular Poet's Cove resort is Port Browning Marina, which is the antithesis of Poet's Cove. While Poet's Cove has its posh resort & spa and guaranteed fancy yachts at the dock, Port Browning has a very large and well kept lawn, small but fantastic pub, and short walk to the commerce center of the Pender Islands.

A key reason for us to return to a marina is food, which usually means a high-quality, nearby restaurant. However, in this case, both of the onsite options are outstanding. By coincidence, both of our stays were on Sunday nights, where the roast beef with Yorkshire Pudding special is absolutely fantastic in the main pub. At the cafe on the side of the building, we recommend any of the eggs benedict for breakfast. And remember, in Canada, Canadian bacon is called "bacon." Just like in France, where French food is called "food."
