Discover the picture-perfect West Coast

What’s your favourite image of the West Coast? Sunny beaches and towering trees? Sensational sunsets? Iconic architecture?

On the West Coast Traveller, you’ll see tens of thousands of photos representing the best of Alaska, Yukon, Alberta, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California.

So what’s hot right now? It’s all British Columbia!

In these days of physical and social distancing, perhaps it’s fitting that a photo of a busy and engaged Kits Beach – photographed in an earlier time by Margarita Sanchez – has captured lots of Flickr views lately.

In ‘Lakeside Sunset,’ photographer Andry Friesen’s subject strikes a pose at Sheridan Lake, BC, while in lovely Port Sidney Marina, colourful skies make for a dramatic backdrop, in Marites Monteverde’s reflection image. (See photo above)

Vancouver Island is indeed a photo-worthy destination! Rounding out our current top-five photos is a panoramic view of the Inner Harbour by Craig Cumming and a photo sharing the peace of an empty dock in a quiet moment at Horne Lake.

While British Columbia has caught the eye of photo fans lately, we love to see your images from throughout the West Coast!
