Vancouver Island View

Bringing you ideas about the best ways to explore the island.

Two weeks ago I sent out a link to the Oceanside Feature page asking for input. After many great suggestions, it's fully up and running with much more information added.

I've also updated several articles that will get you out and about. Click on the links below to read more information.

Sproat Lake

Sproat Lake is a beautiful destination for outdoor activities and relaxation. Here are our favourite things to do while visiting.


Natural Wonders

This older article received a facelift with updated information and images. I also made a point of visiting each location to ensure it's still a top 10 natural wonder of Oceanside.

Cape Scott Park

Our #1 read article also received an update. New information was added for travel tips and tours of the area. So many people are nervous about travelling here (for good reason), but as it's rated as one of the top 50 best beaches in the world, you should definitely see it! Hopefully, the new info will help you with your plans.


June Hidden Gem

I decided to add this month's hidden gem to the one I featured in April. This is because it's another big old-growth beauty found in Qualicum Beach (so it just made sense).


Wherever you decide to roam, have a great weekend!
