At the heart of Friday Harbour Resort is one of the largest inland marinas of its kind in Canada, featuring 1,000 slips, modern facilities, and a Harbour Master building that overlooks a vibrant harbour filled with sailboats and motorboats.
The entertainment calendar is anchored by events at the CIBC Pier. On June 20, 2026, Elvis & The Casino Brothers launch the summer concert season with live music, dancing, cocktails, DJs, and food stations against a stunning lakeside backdrop. The pier also hosts its seasonal opening celebration from May 15 to 18, 2026, featuring live entertainment, The Market, and fireworks.
Nature is equally central to the experience. More than 200 acres of protected forests and wetlands, along with over seven kilometres of trails, offer peaceful escapes just steps from the waterfront, with opportunities to explore woodlands, wildlife habitats, and scenic natural landscapes.
On the water, visitors can enjoy boat and jet ski rentals, kayaking, paddle boating, fishing charters, and water skiing, making it easy to spend a few hours or an entire day on Lake Simcoe.
Lakeside Lifestyle
Dining options are spread throughout the Promenade, including the Beach Club Restaurant, known for fresh seafood, and the Lake Club, a popular waterfront brunch destination. Throughout the resort, restaurants pair carefully crafted menus with exceptional lake views.
The Promenade also features boutique shops, cafés, artisanal retailers, and The Market, where local vendors gather on weekends to showcase handcrafted goods and specialty products in a walkable waterfront setting.
Golfers can tee off on The Nest, the resort’s 18-hole championship course. The course is ranked in the top sixth percentile of golf courses in Canada by ScoreGolf.
Many accommodations offer full kitchens, in-suite laundry, Wi-Fi, and spacious living areas. For a slower pace, the beach is just steps from many accommodations. It offers a relaxing place to unwind by the water, watch boats pass by, and enjoy the lakefront setting.
