Refuge Cove
Refuge Cove sits tucked between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland at the north end of the Strait of Georgia, about 150km northwest of Vancouver — drop anchor here and you're stepping into a genuine piece of coastal BC history. The historic boardwalk community is a rare find this far up the coast, and the surrounding waters are prime kayaking territory if you want to explore on a smaller scale.
