QUALICUM BEACH, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Widely known as Vancouver Island's "Garden Village", Qualicum Beach is probably the oldest holiday destination on the B.C. coast. Downtown is filled with boutique shops, galleries, cafes and large sidewalks. Minutes from downtown is Milner Gardens & Woodland, 28 hectares of unspoiled natural beauty perched on the edge of an oceanside bluff overlooking Georgia Straight.
Volunteer greeters happily welcome VIA passengers on the historic E&N dayliner at the restored original train station dating back to 1913.
