Dream Westcoast Property: Location & Amenities

So, what about all that swimming, golfing, fishing, tennis, squash, kayaking, cycling, spelunking...?

The hiking is truly world-class.

Strathcona Park, BC's oldest, is just a few miles away, and there are several other provincial and municipal parks nearby to enjoy.

Rated the 6th best steelheading river in the world, the Gold River is a gem full of scenic canyons and deep green pools.

It's only a five minute walk from the house, at the edge of the village.
The Nootka Sound region is just up the coast from Tofino, but we're much less developed and crowded. Nearby Nootka Island Trail rivals The West Coast Trail for rugged scenery but it's just being discovered by those who treasure unspoiled wilderness.
All in one day's fishing for our family visiting from back east!

The area also features top-notch prawn, halibut and rock cod fishing. "Fishers in the know" know that the west coast of Vancouver Island is the real Salmon Capital of the World.

The village of 1,500 people has a full array of facilities:
  • Aquatic centre with full size pool, children's pool, whirlpool, sauna, weight room and squash courts. Rivals anything in Vancouver.
  • Golf course - rated the No. 1 nine-hole golf course on Vancouver Island!
  • Tennis courts, skating rink, curling rink, ball diamonds, cinder running track
  • Library, video store, liquor store, delicatessen, Irly Hardware & Building Supplies, and SuperValu grocery store
  • Restaurants, cafes and pub

  • Elementary and high schools, daycare, churches, seniors centre
  • Daily courier service, post office, North Island College, banking services
