Enriched by land and sea
Friday, June 12th, 2009 by GetawayBC.com
Located along the shores of Discovery Passage, nestled at the foot of the snowcapped Vancouver Island Mountains and guarding the northern Strait of Georgia, lies the City of Campbell River.
This community of 30,000 people and the surrounding region, is blessed by land and sea. An outdoor playground and vibrant cultural scene defines the Campbell River area. From cityscapes to wilderness escapes, this region is renowned for its spectacular beauty and friendly people with a spiritual connection to the land, the wildlife and the myriad recreational opportunities. From a relaxing fire on the beach within city limits to a backcountry trek, Campbell River can accommodate any scale of adventure. With restaurants, art galleries, museums and a performing arts theatre, there’s plenty to do around here. The area is also a jumping off point to B.C.’s north coast as well as it’s largest urban centres, Vancouver and Victoria – without the hassle and cost of those major metropolitan areas.;
