Overview
The magnificent Cowichan coastline and its surrounding inlets, harbours and secluded bays (and lakes) are a boater’s paradise. And whether you’re fishing, cruising, or sailing, there are ample opportunities to explore them all. With many marinas, small harbours and government docks along the shore, you’ll be able to find all the provisions to tie up and refuel both yourself and your vessel.
If you’re coming to Cowichan to get your fix of fishing, you won’t be disappointed. The Cowican River is internationally renowned for its fly fishing, and the saltwater and lake fishing are outstanding too.
