Texada Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Texada Island is located about 8 km southwest from the city of Powell River on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. A former mining and logging area, the island still has a few quarries and old logging roads. During U.S. prohibition, the island was a supply point for illegal alcohol into the United States. Today, the island is caters mainly to tourists seeking an escape from the city.
A regular ferry service links Powell River and the main ferry terminal at Blubber Bay.
