British Columbia is practically a synonym for breathtaking nature. However, it’s not easy to know your way around unless someone has guided you on the hotspots. If you’re on the lookout for some less-touristy spots in the area, here are some lesser-known yet amazing places in BC you should check out.
Hot Springs Cove
If you’re looking for a truly remote wilderness getaway, this spot is for you. Only accessible by boat or plane, Hot Springs Cove is the hidden gem of Maquinna Marine Provincial Park, just 18 miles northwest of Tofino.
Tweedsmuir Provincial Park
The recreational activities Tweedsmuir Provincial Park offers seem unlimited. Boating, camping, hunting, wildlife spotting, or fishing are some of the options to occupy your time in this beautiful wilderness. However, due to its remoteness, visitors should either be prepared to be completely self-sufficient or visit Tweedsmuir with a professional guide.
Galiano Island Sandstone Caves
Galiano Island may not exactly be a secret place, but the Sandstone Caves are certainly one of its more remote spots. The smooth curves of these caves make the location absolutely dreamy, and they are not the only interesting geological formation on the island.
Visit One of Vancouver’s Unique Museums
Most visitors to Vancouver will likely check out the Art Gallery or the Vancouver Museum. But the Police Museum in Vancouver is one of the most underrated museums in the city. It’s located in Vancouver’s original Coroner’s Court and City Morgue and houses many fascinating artifacts and information about the city’s history.
