Port Hardy extends across 38.73 square kilometers at the northern tip of Vancouver Island, featuring coastal landscapes and dense forests along British Columbia's shoreline.

The municipality received its name from Vice-Admiral Thomas Masterman Hardy, who commanded HMS Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

The Kwakiutl First Nations maintain their ancestral presence in Port Hardy through ceremonies, art displays, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The Bear Cove ferry terminal connects travelers to Prince Rupert while Pacific Coastal Airlines provides regular flights to Vancouver International Airport.
