Spanish A natural pit-stop for North Channel island-hoppers or a great place to stay for awhile at our modern fullservice Marina, with laundromat, fitness centre, wireless internet, clean showers, sauna and more. Spanish is an important Gateway to the North Channel being a short hop to the beautiful Benjamin Islands group and closer still to the island-speckled waters of Whalesback and McBean Channels. Spanish prides itself on being a convenient beginning, middle or ending for visits to these popular anchoring spots. The Town of Spanish is much more than a place to simply fuel up and run. Coupled with the Waterfront Marina Complex there are many local businesses in the downtown core that can provide all the amenities needed: boat and auto repair, restaurants (licenced and unlicenced), groceries, hardware, liquor and beer store, bank, post office, gift shop and more. Medical and dental services are also available. Near the marina is a bed and breakfast (Bel Abris), a roller blade rink and a baseball field.
