Time to savour, unwind and explore the West Coast!

This summer, there is no better time to get out and re-discover the amazing West Coast. You can do it all here, and chances are, everything you want to do is right near by!

No matter what your idea of a holiday, the West Coast has it: luxury and adventure, relaxation and exercise, and all kinds of good things to eat, straight from the field, or elegantly prepared. Go whale watching, experience living history, get a food-cart lunch, or a five-star meal. The hard part is choosing!

From craft breweries and cideries to fresh fare from the farmers’ market, savouring locally inspired foods and beverages is easy on the West Coast! Jen Blyth photo.

Savour

From field to plate, the West Coast offers a delicious array of ways to enjoy the bounty of the land. From farmer’s markets to local restaurants featuring locally grown ingredients, you can please any palate. From coastal shores to mountain peaks, no matter where you find yourself, there is no time better to savour the fulsome flavours of the West Coast!

For more information on great places to eat and drink, check out the West Coast Traveller.

Unwind

Is your idea of relaxation hiking up a mountain or does it sway more towards a great day at the spa? What about both? You can unwind like a local.

No matter what you like to do, whether whitewater rafting, taking in a stormy beach, going on a city window-shopping stroll or playing a few rounds of golf, West Coast Traveller has you covered!

Explore

Knowing where to start can be the hard part. Lush forest, glacial streams, imposing mountains, historical places, botanical gardens and bustling cities are just a few of the places waiting for you to explore! Check out things to do for inspiration on your next adventure!
