More on the Comox Valley
From the Discover Comox Valley Web site: "The Comox Valley is a place that inspires creativity, tempts the taste buds, soothes the soul and fires the imagination of adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. Situated halfway up the east coast of Vancouver Island, this community of 65,000 faces the sea and embraces the mountains, has the charm of a small town but with a touch of urban sophistication and taste. The Comox Valley is comprised of three communities, each one diverse and unique, the City of Courtenay, Town of Comox, Village of Cumberland and the surrounding rural farm areas.
From full on adventure to blissful relaxation, you’ll find four seasons of fun in the Comox Valley. Carve down an alpine ski run with an ocean view, Nordic ski through an ancient forest, scuba dive in crystal clear water, mountain bike or hike along a river, paddle kilometers of shoreline and tee off at one of many scenic golf courses.
You’ll also find time and space for relaxation and pampering. Enjoy a day of arts and culture at museums, galleries, and artists’ studios, curl up on the beach with a favorite book, tour the local wineries and distilleries or sample what’s on tap at one of three craft breweries. Browse boutique shops, enjoy a cappuccino at a sidewalk cafe and book a much deserved spa treatment.
Festivals throughout the year celebrate everything from music and shellfish, to fine art and aviation. And with more than 400 farmers and food producers in the region, Comox Valley’s diverse selection of restaurants exemplify the farm to fork and tide to table culinary tradition with menus featuring the freshest of seasonally local ingredients. The Comox Valley offers four seasons of fantastic experiences."
