SOUTHERN ISLAND
On the east coast of Vancouver Island we enjoy Canada’s warmest mean temperature (don't be too jealous, it rains all winter!) Southern Vancouver Island is anchored by BC's capital city of Victoria. On the west coast, you’ll find windswept beaches, and fishing opportunities right from the dock.
