Nelson Island
Nelson Island is an island in the Sunshine Coast region of the South Coast region of British Columbia. It is surrounded by Hotham Sound, Agamemnon Channel and Malaspina Strait. The closest communities are Pender Harbour and Egmont, both on the Sechelt Peninsula.

The island is mostly forested, although there are some clear cut areas inland. Lakes and large mountainous hills define the geography. Hardy Island sits alongside Nelson Island with Blind Bay in between the two. Logging operations and granite quarries were early features of the island, and many buildings in BC were built out of Nelson granite, including the Parliament Buildings in Victoria.

There were once a few homesteads and small logging operations, most of which are now summer cabins. As a consequence, the permanent population is quite small. One of the most well-known residents was Harry Roberts who retired to the island in 1929. The house he built, Sunray, was a cottage with south-facing walls of glass that stretched out like the rays of a sun. It still stands in a cove at Cape Cockburn.

The island is named for the British naval hero, Horatio Nelson, 1^st Viscount Nelson.

Egmont
Egmont is a small waterfront village on Secret Bay in Sechelt Inlet named after the HMS Egmont, which served under Rear-Admiral Sir John Jervis at the Battle of St. Vincent on 14th February 1797.

Egmont is the trailhead for Skookumchuck Provincial Park and features two modern marinas offering moorage and supplies for yachts and floatplanes. Boat Charters are available in Egmont and water taxi service can be arranged to the many natural attractions in the area.
