 Sointula,
Malcolm Island BC Canada: A relaxing island get-a-way for those
seeking exceptional quiet time, rejuvenation, and special
moments surrounded
by beaches, sand and coastal scenery. Located off the shores of Port McNeill,
Sointula ( a Finnish word meaning harmony ) on Malcolm Island is blessed with
small town hospitality, miles of sandy beaches decorated in driftwood populated
with a wide variety of marine wildlife. Proud of it's deep heritage of Finnish
heritage, this (non-ATM machine island) void of big city amenities is a destination
for those individuals seeking self fulfillment and self discovery. Come and enjoy,

Take a day trip of exploration and education to the manned lighthouse on Pultenay
Point, the beautiful Bay Trail, the Mateoja Heritage Trail or take a trip into

| How to Get to Sointula British Columbia, Canada: Sointula on Malcolm
Island is located off the shores of Port McNeill, 463 km (287 mi) north of Victoria.
Again... we must suggest the Hwy 19A (Oceanside Route) whenever possible traveling
north by car. The Oceanside Route ends in Campbell River and continues on as Hwy
19 ( North Island Hwy). A scenic tour of the absolute most rugged West Coast wilderness
on Vancouver Island. An enjoyable, worth every extra mile, a sit back and cruise
for 200 km (124 mi) adventure through vast rainforests with thick lush undergrowth,
rumbling over bridges protecting rushing rivers, cutting through valleys and along
mountain ridges weaving in and around the cavernous mountain ranges until you
arrive to the ocean front community of Port McNeill located just off Highway 19.
Located only 50 km (31 mi) south of Port Hardy in Port McNeill is the Ferry Terminal
that takes you to Sointula, on Malcolm Island and Alert Bay on Cormorant Island.
