This BC cove is known for its sheltered harbour and spectacular views

Surrounded by lush forested trails, picturesque beaches, and mountain vistas, Deep Cove in British Columbia is a must-visit any time of year – but summertime makes for a truly magical day trip or getaway. Situated in the District of North Vancouver, the small waterfront village centre is known for its world-class recreational activities. So grab your beach towels, sunscreen, and hiking shoes – and get ready to explore!

One of the most scenic spots in the Lower Mainland, Deep Cove is especially popular for paddle board and kayak enthusiasts, who can paddle their way through the sheltered harbour into the Indian Arm.

Alternatively, day trippers can warm up with a hike to the famed Quarry Rock before a dip in the cove’s calm waters, or venture a little west to Cates Park (Whey-ah-wichen).
