Deep Bay is a small and quiet oceanside community. It is in Lighthouse Country, or the Baynes Sound area, which also incorporates Horne Lake, Qualicum Bay, Bowser, Fanny Bay and Buckley Bay – a good place to base yourself whilst exploring Vancouver Island. Deep Bay provides a wonderful view across Baynes Sound toward Chrome Island and its lighthouse, Denman and Hornby Islands, Texada Island, and the snow-capped Coast Mountain Range beyond that on the B.C. mainland.

A small village in the heart of Comox Valley.
Cumberland BC is a true gem, a haven for artists and the perfect base for people who love outdoor activities. This photogenic little town looks like something dreamt up in a Hollywood studio to represent an eccentric rural village. With cute, colourful wooden buildings, unique and unusual cedar-shingled houses, historic mansions and a picturesque heritage museum, Vancouver Island’s Cumberland is a nice place to stroll around for an afternoon. There are also plenty of fascinating shops, enticing restaurants and even a couple local pubs, not to mention a handy public goodwill box filled with empty egg cartons if you find yourself running low.
