If you’re looking for a day away from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver, try visiting Deep Cove. Once you find this hidden gem, it will keep you coming back. Not only does it feature some epic natural views, there are also a ton of great things you can do in the area.

Take the short and relatively easy hike up to Quarry Rock for epic views or explore the nearby coastline from the water by renting a kayak. If you’re looking for a more laid back sort of day, there are plenty of great spots to have a picnic by the water and little restaurants and shops nearby to wander through.

While it’s most ideal to visit in nice weather, Deep Cove is beautiful all year round, and there is so much to explore in the surrounding area. It’s only a short drive away from downtown and certainly well worth the visit.
