Coal Harbour is a northern Vancouver Island marine hub providing access to the fertile fishing grounds of Quatsino Sound located just a 20 minute drive on a paved road from Port Hardy.
This community has had several past incarnations as a mining town, a military base and a whaling station. Today Coal Harbour is a perfect launch point for fishing charters, boaters, kayakers and campers heading into the scenic coastal waters and old-growth forests of Vancouver Island North’s wilderness areas. There is also a growing artisan community encompassing a wide range of artistic pursuits. A Music and Arts Festival celebrates this creativity annually at the end of April or beginning of May. Whales, dolphins, seals and sea otters are regular visitors into Stephens Bay.
