Port Washington is located at the north-west tip of North Pender Island. Approach from Swanson Channel, N of Boat Islet. Aim for the wharfhead while keeping watch for a submerged rock about 50 m S of the wharfhead. The Bay offers protection from all directions except W and it is exposed to ferry wash. Anchorage is at the SE of the Bay, but the bottom is spotty and ferry wash intermittent. You may tie up at the float on the N side of the wharfhead. There is a charm to this old settlement. Unfortunately, the general store built in 1910 has been demolished. There is a general store 3 km from the Port and a taxi or hitching a ride will get you there.
