Mayne Island Tennis Club-Mayne Island British Columbia. A temperate, climate, beach access and hiking trails surround the tennis courts on
The island is one of British Columbia’s Gulf Islands which lay between Vancouver Island, the British Columbia mainland and in the same group as the US San Juan Islands. With a population of just over a thousand people, the vibe is very laid back.
Two courts and a practice wall built in 2008 are well maintained and attract a lot of local island players. A garden like setting with beautifully landscaped grounds are the setting for the tiny island’s club. Courts are open to the public. A donation box assists with maintenance and operation of the community tennis facility.
The patio of the Springwater Lodge restaurant overlooks Miners Bay above Active Pass, the main channel for the ferries between Vancouver and Victoria. It’s a favorite place for people to watch the ferries go by on a sunny afternoon while eating pub style food.
Historically the area was a favorite stopover for miners going to the Fraser River and Caribou Gold Rushes. The lodge is the oldest continuously operated hotel in British Columbia and is well worth a visit.
