COWICHAN BAY
N
o adventure in
South Cowichan would be complete without taking the walking tour
of Cowichan Bay Village. This picturesque little fishing village
where time stands still, is custom made for anyone who likes to
wander about exploring the eclectic shops or stop in for a bite
of fresh seafood at the local restaurants, or just sit on the
dock and watch the sun set reflecting off Mount Tzouhalem.
In the heart of Cowichan Bay you will find the Maritime Centre
and the Coast Salish Journey art gallery. The Maritime Centre
offers custom designed boat building courses throughout the
summer, and a workshop and support services for boat builders
throughout the rest of the year. The unique Maritime Museum
extends along the pier from the Centre and houses exhibits and
artefacts from the Bay’s eventful history. The pavilion at the
end of the pier exhibits a historical perspective of sailing,
through a private collection of beautifully detailed model sail
boats.
Cowichan Bay and boat building go hand in hand and the village
hosts an annual boat building contest, which attracts
boatbuilding teams with their unique designs from near and far.
Cheer your team on in the competitive and highly entertaining
boat races that take place at the end of the day.
