Royston - Red Railing

Pardon the title alliteration.

I can't count the number of times we've driven by the Royston turn-off on Highway 19a (known locally as the Oceanside Route or the Old Island Highway) with hardly a thought to actually having a look. On this day in August, after poking around Comox (I think we checked out the new Costco there), the mood just hit me; "why not take a drive down to the water?" We found this little pier right at the end of Royston Road, where it intersects with Marine Drive.

The view here is of Comox (Port Augusta as it was known in earlier times - circa 1860).
