In Lund, you can shape your trip around a specific choice: should the focus be on the water, or would you also like to make time for the marina, crafts and local cuisine? The options span different timeframes—from a short wooden boardwalk in town to multi-day kayak tours. The annual Lund Shellfish Festival may also play a part in choosing when to travel.
Island Connections and the Sunshine Coast Trail
Lund offers access to seascapes and islands beyond its shoreline. Lund Water Taxi runs daily trips to Sarah Point. Sarah Point is the starting point of the Sunshine Coast Trail; reservations are required for the trip. Check the departure times and make a reservation if you plan to include the trailhead in your itinerary.
For more than 30 years, Lund Water Taxi has also provided connections to Savary Island. The two destinations address different planning needs: Sarah Point is specifically identified as the trail’s starting point, while Savary Island is an island destination with a long-standing connection. Check current schedules before your trip if you plan to use this service.
Kayaking Options for Different Timeframes
Kayaking options also vary in the time they require. Terracentric Coastal Adventures offers seasonal kayak rentals in Lund. Footprint Nature Explorations offers six-hour, one-day tours as well as multi-day kayak tours lasting two to six days. The stated time commitment therefore ranges from a single tour day to several days. Match the length of your stay to your chosen option and check its dates and availability before making plans.
Marina, Park and Local Crafts
A short wooden boardwalk runs around Lund’s marina. At Klah Ah Men Lund Gazebo Regional Park, a large gazebo provides shelter from the elements. Both offer specific places to visit in town and the park, complementing the longer time commitments of the kayak tours.
Art and crafts also offer different ways to connect with the area. Pollen Sweaters sells pure-wool sweaters and hats made in Lund. Tug-Guhm Gallery Studio displays artworks by more than 50 local artists. Rare Earth Pottery makes functional and sculptural Raku and wood-fired ceramic art. Tidal Art Centre offers rotating workshops for residents and visitors. Dates and opening hours vary according to shows, events and courses; check them if you plan to attend a workshop.
Baked Goods and the May Festival
Nancy's Bakery Café is known for its blackberry cinnamon rolls and fresh baked goods. The Lund Shellfish Festival takes place annually in May and features fresh seafood stalls. The specific festival dates may vary. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, check the dates before booking.
