There are a bunch of seaplanes and other small aircraft that are usually parked along the fence opposite the Riverway Path. You can check them out as you pass by.

This path takes you through Courtenay's urban area, partially sheltered on either side by strips of greenery, between downtown and the riverfront. You share the path with cyclists, but the trail is paved and divided to ease multi-use traffic.

Comox Harbour is a sheltered inlet on the east coast of Vancouver Island, opening into the Strait of Georgia. The water is generally calm, shaped by tides that expose mudflats and sandbars along the shoreline. Backed by distant mountains and coastal communities, it forms a wide, open marine landscape that changes noticeably throughout the day.

Royston Seaside Trail follows the shoreline of Comox Harbour, and is a flat, gravel path between the water and a narrow strip of coastal vegetation. The trail is short, with driftwood, tidal flats, and small beaches lining the edge of the harbour. With constant ocean views and minimal elevation change, it's a great route for a quick scenic stroll along the waterfront.

Shingle Spit is a pebbly gravel-bar beach and Hornby Island’s main ferry landing for visitors. The spit is a year‑round wildlife haven, where you’ll likely see plenty of seals, sea lions, cormorants, and dozens of bald eagles during the herring spawn. Just steps from the ferry dock sits Thatch Pub and Restaurant, the island’s only full-service pub with a waterfront deck, making it the perfect lunch spot to enjoy some local fare and take in the scenery during a day of hiking in this beautiful area.

Helliwell Provincial Park is beautiful, home to a rare coastal ecosystem on the eastern tip of Hornby Island, where wind-sculpted bluffs meet old-growth Douglas fir and Garry oak. The park’s open meadows and cliffside forests overlook the Strait of Georgia, with fantastic views across the water to the Coast Mountains. It’s a quiet, exposed headland shaped by salt spray and ocean wind, known for its wildflowers, diverse birdlife, and fragile shoreline habitats.

You can also grab a coffee and take it down to one of the picnic tables along Marine Drive. A great place to look across towards Comox Marina and Goosespit.
