🏠 Harbouring Seafood 🐟 In the heart of historic Steveston Fishing Village, this iconic building stretches over both land and water, overlooking Steveston Harbour at the mouth of the Fraser River. It stands beside the Steveston Fisherman's Wharf Public Fish Sales Dock, where commercial fishers sell their fresh catch directly from their boats.

Two popular restaurants occupy most of this waterfront mixed-use building, each specializing in fresh local seafood. Blue Canoe Waterfront Restaurant is located on the first floor above the water, featuring a patio overlooking the harbour. Catch Kitchen + Bar spans the second floor, complete with a rooftop patio offering sweeping 270-degree panoramic views of the harbour and Fraser River inlet.

STEVESTON FISHERMAN'S WHARF

• Wild Pacific Salmon
Sockeye, Chinook (King), Coho, Pink, Chum
• Smoked Salmon

If you're visiting specifically for salmon: Steveston is famous for its Fraser River salmon, particularly sockeye. During the summer salmon run, it's one of the best places in British Columbia to buy wild-caught salmon directly from the people who caught it.

BEFORE YOU GO, it's worth checking the Steveston Harbour Authority's website daily "TODAY ON THE WHARF" update, which lists what species are available that day. On some days there may be only one or two species.

🌊 The Sandbar is Open🍹🏝 ... but it was “Last Call” for this little piece of real estate. The tide was quickly rising and this remote island disappeared into English Bay.

Looking across English Bay, past the cargo ship “Sea Libra” to the shoreline of West Vancouver and beyond to Grouse Mountain Resort in North Vancouver. You can clearly see the towers of the Red Skyride and the Blue Grouse Gondola climbing up the mountain to the Peak Chalet.

What you can’t see are two hidden treasures under the forest’s canopy. The popular hiking trails “Grouse Grind®” and the “BCMC Trail”. Each start at the base of Grouse Mountain and end up at the resort’s Peak Chalet. (see comments to reveal these trails)

🌤🏔The Whispering Sound 🌊 A red cedar memorial pole crafted by Squamish Master Carver Xwalacktun (Rick Harry) watches over the Howe Sound at the Tunnel Point Lookout.

The beautiful piece of art commemorates the nine people (including members of a Squamish Nation family) who tragically lost their lives in a major mudslide/bridge washout on October 28, 1981, at that location.

This installation was part of the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project that was completed in advance of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Sadly, in late October of 2023, this memorial pole was vandalized. I has been taken down and I believe it's being repaired.

☁️ Blue Yonder 🛫🌕 Friday night's moon rising over on Sea Island in Richmond. Korean Air & Phillipine Airlines stand at the International Departures terminal at the northwest side of Vancouver International Airport.

This was a waxing gibbous with 96% illumination. The crazy thing is, I went out to catch the Full Blue Moon that night and it wasn't until the next morning that I realized the full moon wasn't until Sunday Night 😂😭 and I didn't get out last night. It reached maximum illumination Sunday morning at 1am.

⛵ Ships to Shore ⛵🇯🇵 Friday's sunset and Japan's tall ship "Kaiwo Maru" glowing magically with string lights, looking like a scene from "Once Upon A Time" in Storybrooke ✨

I actually went to Garry Point Park to capture the Full Flower Moon rising behind this majestic tall ship but my plans were thwarted by thick clouds in the southeast and the moon was a no-show.

Looking over the mouth of the Fraser River, the Salish Sea, and beyond to Valdes Island, Cassidy (Nanaimo Airport, YCD), and mountain ranges on Vancouver Island.

Did you know... the floats and gangways from the Imperial Landing docks were temporarily relocated here to Garry Point Park for this event?

⛵️ Tokyo Drift 💦 The Kaiwo Maru is now in Steveston for "Ships to Shore" this weekend. It's been 9 long years since this vessel has visited British Columbia. These photos are from an overcast day in 2017 when this ship was departing from Garry Point Park in Richmond, BC.

The Kaiwo Maru will only visit Steveston, British Columbia, during its 2026 North American voyage. It is confirmed as the sole port of call in North America, docking at Garry Point Park for the Ships to Shore festival from May 2–3, 2026. A limited number of tickets will be available for people to board and explore the vessel.

Can anyone tell me why they chose Steveston as their destination?

After departing Steveston on May 6, it will sail directly to Honolulu, and then return to Kobe, Japan, with no additional stops in British Columbia.

This tall ship is one of the largest in the world, 182 feet high by 361 feet long. The King of the Sea. It took this ship a month to cross the Pacific Ocean just to get here.

The Kaiwo Maru is typically stationed at the National Institute for Sea Training in Yokohama, Japan, where it serves as a sail training vessel operated by the Japan Agency of Maritime Education and Training for Seafarers (JMETS). While it is registered in Tokyo and frequently visits ports like Kobe and Yokohama, its official home port and base of operations is Yokohama.

🌞 Hot Town, Summer in Vancity 🏖
Who’s ready for some serious beach vibes?

Flashback to that golden evening sunshine on Kitsilano Beach when the mercury hit a perfect 28°C (82.4°F).

Gazing across the fenced Kitsilano Pool, over English Bay and Kits Beach, past the Boathouse Restaurant patio (which Hawksworth is taking over this year), the lifeguard station, one of the graceful weeping willows, and all the way to the West End skyline.
