Welcome to Pender Island.
Pender and the other Southern Gulf Islands rest between Vancouver on the mainland and Victoria on Vancouver Island, sheltered in the Straight of Georgia just north of the San Juan Islands. Pender is only a 40 minute ferry ride from the BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay near Victoria, and less than 2 hours on the ferry from Tsawwassen if you are coming from Vancouver. But experiencing the beauty of the Southern Gulf Islands by float plane will get you to Pender in significantly less time.
The Pender Island Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to supporting the Pender Island business community and promoting Pender Island as a great place to live, work and visit. Our membership covers a diverse range of businesses providing quality services for both residents and visitors.
