Hello! My name is Tamaryn Kvalsvig, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself as the new face of tourism in our beautiful seaside village, Gordon’s Bay—a place I’ve proudly called home for all 24 years of my life.

Having grown up surrounded by the charm of our beaches, mountains, and friendly faces, I’ve always felt that Gordon’s Bay is a hidden gem waiting to shine brighter. I feel that destination marketing and getting more people involved in tourism will put our little secret on the map. Showing everyone what a paradise Gordons Bay is.

I’m deeply passionate about people and our incredible community. Whether I’m sharing fascinating tidbits about Gordon’s Bay’s history, chatting about my favorite local spots, or helping visitors (both local and international) feel at home, you’ll often find me happily engaging with anyone who walks through the tourism office doors.

In my role at Gordon’s Bay Tourism, I manage and market our social media platforms, showcasing everything that makes our town so special. I also work closely with local businesses, spreading the word about our fantastic membership program—a way for businesses to shine while supporting tourism.

I’m excited to work together to celebrate and grow Gordon’s Bay. So, let’s chat, collaborate, and share our love for this little slice of paradise we’re lucky enough to call home.

Have You Discovered the Secrets of Wagon Pass?
High above Sir Lowry’s Pass lies a trail steeped in history and adventure: the Wagon Pass. Picture this — in the early 19th century, ox wagons laden with goods creaked their way up this treacherous path. It wasn’t for the faint of heart. The steep and rocky terrain claimed many oxen and wagons, turning every journey into a battle against nature.

The challenges were immense. Nearly a fifth of the wagons were damaged as they struggled to traverse the pass. Some lost their grip entirely, sliding back down the mountain and forcing their determined travelers to start the grueling climb all over again. Imagine their frustration — and their perseverance!

But ingenuity always finds a way. Travelers devised clever methods to tackle the ascent. One popular strategy was to dismantle the wagons at the base, carry the pieces to the summit, and reassemble them at the top — all while coaxing oxen up the rocky, windswept path. Alternatively, extra muscle came in the form of additional oxen from nearby farms, with some wagons requiring up to 24 oxen to pull their way to victory.

Today, the marks of those historic journeys remain etched into the rock, left by the brake drag-shoes of the wagons. These grooves are more than just scratches; they’re enduring symbols of resilience and resourcefulness. Over 250 years later, they invite us to imagine the sheer determination it took to conquer the pass.
Curious to see this slice of history for yourself? You’re in luck! The Wagon Pass is marked on Google Maps and easy to locate. It is recommended that you go though a hiking group or tour as you will need to the permission of local land owners to access the paths. The scenic hike is rough 40 minutes and is not extremely challenging.

So lace up your hiking boots, grab some water, and step back in time as you walk in the tracks of those intrepid pioneers. Who knows what stories the wind might whisper as you stand where history was made?
