Courtenay

Courtenay is a city on the east coast of Vancouver Island, but because of its low-rise buildings, friendly locals and cozy atmosphere, it feels more like a village! Courtenay is bustling with vibrant galleries, shops, restaurants, and farmers’ markets offering delicious local produce. So combine the bright lights of Courtenay with the even brighter natural attractions of the surrounding area, and you have a recipe for a great holiday! In Courtenay (or more precisely, outside Courtenay), you can enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, mountain-biking, and trekking. The best of nature will greet you every day, and the glorious views will lift even the most harried of souls. Explore the magical Nymph Falls Nature Park, Seal Bay Nature Park, Kitty Coleman Provincial Park, and the Royston Seaside Trail.
