With panoramic views across an oyster bay to the southern Gulf Islands, Ladysmith’s heritage main street is lined with Edwardian-era architecture, unique shops and a tempting array of restaurants. Transfer Beach Park is the town’s waterfront gem with a kid-friendly green space and water-spray park along with kayak rentals, a community art gallery and a dockside maritime museum. Harbour tours provide a unique way to see the town from a different angle and learn the history of the area.
