Vancouver Island
Alert Bay
Alert Bay is on Cormorant Island which is some four km long, and about one km wide at its narrowest point. Aside from the fact that everything’s handy, it means that the citizens sharing this compact piece of ground have developed a philosophy of neighbourly harmony.
For an Island with a population of a littlle over 1400 people here always seem to have something on the go - whale watching, kayaking sailing and fishing make Alert Bay a must see destination.

Port McNeill
Port McNeill (population: 2,623) is laid out along the shores of Broughton Strait on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island. It was named for William McNeill of the Hudson’s Bay Company, who captained the first steamship to operate on BC’s west coast. Sometimes referred to as the “Gateway to the Broughton Archipelago,” it’s also known as a good, centrally located jumping off point for daytrips to north island communities like Alert Bay, Sointula, Port Hardy and Port Alice. Logging and fishing are its main industries and whale watching is its greatest tourist draw.
Qualicum Beach
Widely known as Vancouver Island’s “Garden Village,” Qualicum Beach is probably the oldest holiday destination on the BC coast. Early explorers spoke of its beauty, warm summers and amazing vistas as early as 1864. With the arrival of the railway a century ago, the town rapidly developed into a vacation retreat. And thanks to visionary thinking by town planners and a set of strict building codes, Qualicum (a Salish Indian word for “where the dog salmon runs”) Beach remains a singularly unique and special destination to this day.
