A view of the Comox Marina from Goose Spit. Comox is home to four marinas which hold over 500 pleasure boats and a commercial fishing fleet. The marinas are protected by a rock breakwater which is in turn protected by the Goose Spit which extends out into Comox harbour, providing one of the safest year-round harbours on Vancouver Island. Comox Harbour is a great launching spot for some of the best salmon fishing in the World. The Comox (municipal) Marina offers a boat launch and is located right next to Marina park with plenty of parking, washroom facilities and a play area for children. A two minute walk is all that is required to reach the shopping, pubs, and restaurants of downtown Comox.
