There is also most every type of convenience including a bank, a beauty shop, and a liquor store and grocery stores. Finally you follow Hwy 101 past Sakinow and Ruby Lakes to Egmont and Earls Cove. From Egmont you're able to depart on a 45-minute hike to Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park. From Roland Point you can watch in astonishment when at the peak tides the Skookumchuk Narrows rapids can reach speeds of 12 to 14 knots. Check the tide tables so you can time your hike.
Slack tides are the same throughout the world, slack.
At Earls Cove you will depart on a BC Ferry for Saltery Bay and the Northern Sunshine Coast to Powell River .
