Parks Canada buoys at Sidney Spit, at the north end of Sidney Island and one of the most popular family stops in Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, with long sandy beaches, walking trails, historic sites and lots of wildlife. There are 11 first-come, first-served buoys, one boat per buoy and no rafting, plus the park's only overnight dock. Fees apply from 3 pm; pay at the red self-registration vault on shore. Buoys suit boats up to 50 ft in winds under 30 knots, and up to 40 ft in winds of 30-37 knots. Parks Canada lands on Sidney Island are closed from October 15, 2026 to February 14, 2027; check the park's bulletins before you go.
