Cowichan Bay

Cowichan Bay is a charming working waterfront village you can anchor off and reach by dinghy, with a historic commercial strip of heritage buildings lining the water's edge. The village punches well above its size with independent shops, seafood restaurants, and a maritime museum all within easy walking distance of where you come ashore. It's one of those rare spots that feels genuinely lived-in rather than polished for tourism.
