Stylin'
Casual dress is not frowned upon in Pender Harbour; in fact, jeans and T-shirts are the summertime uniform of residents. If you're going boating, bring a windbreaker— that refreshing sea breeze gets chilly offshore, especially after sundown.
Put your Best Foot Forward
If you can't resist exploring a rocky shoreline or woodland trail, bring appropriate footwear. Flat-soled, waterproof shoes and sandals are perfect for beachcombing, and acceptable for our casual nightlife. If you're planning more than a casual stroll, bring your hiking boots.
Dress for the Season
Summer Visitors
The water reflects the sun's strong ultraviolet rays, so do wear UV-protection sunscreen and sunglasses (wide-brimmed hats provide additional protection). Remember that most perfumed toiletries attract insects that you’d rather avoid.
Winter Visitors
Think rain, not snow. Locals choose leather and oilskin over mink and mohair because winter is Umbrella Season, not Snowshovel Season. It's easy to spot locals in winter; they're the ones looking cozy and comfy in grey Stanfield sweaters, plaid mackinaws and gumboots (identify sailboaters by their bright yellow rubber boots).
