Merry Island is a familiar sight to those who cruise the Inside Passage. The island Lighthouseis situated on the Strait of Georgia, separating Welcome Pass and Malaspina Straits. Often, deer will swim to island from other islands nearby to graze. Bald Eagles make their nests on some of the trees on Merry Island. This is just one of the many beautiful places that you can see by boat in BC.
