Deep Cove

Description

Once just a community of summer cottages, the beautiful little village of Deep Cove is a hidden treasure at the entrance to Indian Arm, off Burrard Inlet on the North shore of Vancouver.

Beautiful, quiet and full of surprises, Deep Cove features a fine selection of restaurants, pubs, select and unique shops, hiking trails, beautiful waterfront parks and the most relaxing scenery you'll find anywhere.

The charming and growing waterfront community, surrounded by mountains, forests and ocean, is just a 20-minute drive from Vancouver.

Location: Deep Cove is located on the North Shore of Vancouver.

Deep Cove is one of two jumping-off points for exploring Indian Arm by canoe or kayak, a steep-sided, 18-mile (30-km) fjord that branches north from Burrard Inlet just east of the Second Narrows Bridge. You can explore the south end of Indian Arm, including the islands that comprise Indian Arm Provincial Marine Park, in the course of a day, or set out on an extended two- to four-day circumnavigation of the coastal inlet. The best time to paddle here is between April and October. During monsoon season, Indian Arm, and the North Shore generally, often receives twice as much rain as nearby Vancouver.
