More infoThe walkway starts at the foot of Head Street beside the West Bay marina and follows the harbour edge all the way to the Johnson Street Bridge: five kilometres if you go the distance, a very pleasant twenty minutes if you do not. It is paved, level and wheelchair friendly, hung with Douglas fir and arbutus, and the harbour supplies the entertainment. Float planes lift off, the Coho and the Clipper come in, otters work the rocks and swans drift past the houseboats. Benches sit roughly where you would want to stop anyway, and none of it costs anything.
