Nice level building lot with sewer & water available. Lightly treed with plenty of sunlight. Build your island getaway or your full time residence on Protection Island. Bordered by a quiet park on two sides. 10 minute boat or ferry ride to downtown Nanaimo. Ferry service all year round and the Island has several waterfront parks. There is a communal dock for boats off Pirates Park in Mud Bay for easy commuting. Protection Island is located in Nanaimo's inner harbour, on the east coast of Vancouver Island. It is part of the Gulf Islands, is family oriented and is serviced by a reliable friendly passenger ferry. It is a very special kind of place. The island is 170 acres and retains plenty of forested areas. With sandstone beaches and incredible views, Protection Island feels far away from the hustle and bustle of the city but is just a quick 10 minute ferry ride to all of the services and amenities that the city of Nanaimo has to offer. A walk around the Island offers many beautiful beaches, forested parks and an abundance of wildlife and birds. It is also right beside Newcastle Island Marine Park.
