British Columbia Travel Guide
The unofficial BC Travel & Tourism Guide

 
Apart of one of British Columbia’s most recreationally diverse communities, the sea, the sky and the mountains are all there to explore within only twenty minutes of each other. From lift off (plane), push off (from the pier), or an ariel stunt on skis there isn’t much time visitors spend just wandering around. Comox resounds with community activity, fishing, golfing, historical walks, boutique shops, dining, skiing and the CFB Comox Air Force base and it happens to house the safety of a large hospital and the coastal Search and Rescue units.

The surrounding rural “burbs” and farmland are ever changing with the mild four season climate to entertain the eye with incredible colours backed by the white glacier mountain tops and glimmering blue oceans off its shore side.
