Spanish
S
panish is a natural pit-stop for North Channel islandhoppers or a great place to stay for awhile at our
modern full-service Marina with laundromat, fitness centre,
wireless internet, clean showers, sauna and more. Spanish is
an important gateway to the North Channel being a short hop
to the beautiful Benjamin Islands group and closer still to the
island-speckled waters of Whalesback and McBean Channels.
Spanish prides itself on being a convenient beginning, middle
or ending for visits to these popular anchoring spots.
The Town of Spanish is much more than a place to simply
fuel up and run. Coupled with the Waterfront Marina Complex
there are many local businesses in the downtown core that
can provide all the amenities needed: boat and auto repair,
restaurants (licenced and unlicenced), groceries, hardware,
liquor and beer store, bank, post office, gift shop and more.
Medical and dental services are also available. Near the marina
is a bed and breakfast, a roller blade rink and a baseball field.
