Telegraph Cove, British Columbia

Tucked into the northeastern coast of Vancouver Island, Telegraph Cove is a charming waterfront village renowned for its rich history, colourful boardwalk homes, and breathtaking wildlife encounters. Once a bustling fishing and cannery hub, this tiny cove has transformed into one of British Columbia’s premier eco-tourism destinations. Visitors can stroll the picturesque boardwalk, explore historic buildings repurposed into shops and cafes, and soak in the serene views of Johnstone Strait—all while surrounded by the rugged beauty of coastal rainforest and ocean.
