Tucked just minutes from downtown Nanaimo yet worlds apart in character, Protection Island offers something increasingly rare: genuine island living without sacrificing urban convenience. This 9,000 sq ft lot sits steps from scenic Smugglers Beach on a gently sloped parcel facing a lovely community garden, in one of BC's most distinctive and sought-after communities.
Life on Protection Island moves at its own pace. Streets carry names like Pirates Lane and Captain Morgans Blvd, golf carts outnumber cars, and the beach is always within reach for kayaking and tidepooling. A tight-knit mix of families, boaters, artists, and professionals call the island home, anchored by the legendary Dinghy Dock Pub, Canada's only floating pub.
