Comox Municipal Marina will be more accessible to residents and visitors after the main dock was opened to the public.
The Town of Comox and Comox Business in Action announced the public can now access the main dock at the marina.
“Our waterfront is one of Comox’s most loved areas, and expanding public access allows more people to experience it while supporting local business and enjoying our downtown,” said Nicole Minions.
The idea to allow public access was first raised during a marina deep-dive session hosted by the Comox BIA in late 2023.
The session brought together more than 25 community partners and generated support for creating more opportunities for the public to connect with the waterfront.
The initiative was later submitted to council as a priority through the BIA’s contributions to the town’s economic development strategy, adopted in 2024.
“This access invites people of all ages to experience more of the waterfront, explore our shops and restaurants and enjoy everything that makes Comox special,” said Pete Chambers.
The marina gate will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the winter schedule, which runs from mid-September to April 30.
The summer schedule runs from May 1 to mid-September, when the gate will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Visitors are encouraged to follow posted signage and safety guidance while using the docks.
