A lovely place for a nice dinner and a gorgeous view. Perfect date night! It’s not as casual as Church Street Taphouse or Lands End… and no children are allowed.

Walk down to the Marina and Fisherman's Wharf Boardwalk. A great place for all ages. There is a waterpark and playground for children, plus plenty of space to run around. There are food truck and ice cream in the summer. This is also the spot to purchase fresh fish off the boat. Lots of flowers to smell and places to sit!

Trails in the park are well-liked for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and dog walking. The trails that lead down to the water are good for families with children. There is nearly one kilometre of rocky beach front to spot seals, birds and maybe even a whale. You will find harbour seals loafing on rocks dotting the bay throughout the year.
Park at the end of Seabank Road for quickest access to the beach! Great for families that have little legs:)

Another great beach year round for families to check out! There is a fabulous playground right next to the ocean with public restrooms and picnic tables under shade. In the summer there is an ice cream truck that sets up. Parking can be a bit of an issue so if it’s the weekend go earlier:)

We love coming here for a quick jaunt or swim at the beach. It’s great to check out winter storms and the kite surfers!
