Grocery Shopping
While we have John Henry's grocery store and Canada Post office in Garden Bay , Madeira Park is the commercial hub of Pender Harbour.
15-minute drive away, on the southern side of the harbour. All grocery needs can be found here. It opens all year round.

Neighbourhoods
Located at the mouth of Pender Harbour. Dock at the end of the road was a great place to meet local folks and see all kinds of boat passing through. It's much quieter since PODS relocated the floating dock.
