Heriot Bay Inn and Marina
Heading up Lewis Channel on the way to Quadra Island. |

BC Ferry leaving for Cortes Island. |
Heriot Bay is on the eastern side of Quadra. The original inn was built in about 1895, rebuilt in 1912 and updated since.
We chose to stay in the marina with our Bayliner 2452. They have diesel and gas, and offer slips for boats large and small.

There's also a dinghy dock for people from the nearby anchorage at Rebecca Spit to tie up. Call ahead for a reservation or check in on Channel 66a to get a spot. Amenities include water, showers, laundry, Internet, and some power hookups. The village grocery store is within walking distance for re-stocking.

Other accomodations options include rooms in the inn, suites and cabins, or oceanside tent and RV campground spots.

We love to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Inn's Heron restaurant. There is inside seating, but we love the outside deck with marina and ocean views. There's also a pub for music, watching games on TV, or dancing.

The Heriot Bay Inn and Marina are open all year long. Travelling in winter or shoulder seasons offer a substantial discount, but with such reasonable prices coming during the summer is your best bet.

We sure try. This is one of our favourite spots for a meal and a night sort of on the grid. - Margy

They've been getting a few halibut around Powell River this year. I've caught little flounder here, but nothing as big as a halibut. - Margy
DeleteI am so pleased to have recently found you. I am sure you are going to be a wealth of information for us newbies to Powell River.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Powell River. Glad you found the blog. If you ever have a question, just leave a comment or send and email through the link in my profile. - Margy
DeleteDo you stay there all weekend or do you rent a car and go see some sights while you are there? The pub sounds nice since there is entertainment.
ReplyDeleteWe've walked a bit around the area, but have never rented a car. Not sure you could even do that on the island. We have also crossed over from Campbell River on the east side, but have never driven through the middle of the island. - Margy
DeleteI haven't visited this side so it's great to see your photo's and read all your info. It looks a fantastic place to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :D
Lots of people come here for holidays. We hear lots of different languages around the dock and in the hotel. - Margy
DeleteWe have the same thing: we take scenic routes, but on land!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't summer if you cannot eat outdoors!!!
