landing pier

The island has enjoyed a brief respite from visitors, as the landing pier was replaced last year, and boat service to the island was paused last February for the year-long project to upgrade it.

At the landing pier, people queue to take photos, film videos and some even bring drones to make sure they've got the perfect shot.

The south jetties around Isla Blanca Park or Pirate’s Landing pier are a few favorite fishing locations for jetty fishing.

“When I look at that landing pier now, I think back to when I arrived here all those years ago,” Nakao said.

After a long and honourable career she was grounded at Victoria Park, where her hull was used to form a portion of the landing pier, and where some of her timbers may still remain.
