A small town in BC was named among Canada's best to live in.
This little town tucked away on a picturesque island in B.C. has been dubbed among the best places to live in Canada. With long stretches of soft sand, ocean views and surrounding nature — it's no surprise people want to call it home.
This B.C. small town is a little slice of paradise with small-town living and unbeatable views.
In a post on Narcity Canada's Facebook page, we asked readers to shout out where the best small towns to live in Canada are. Along with a few more popular West Coast spots, this hidden gem town set on Vancouver Island made the list.
Comox is a coastal town that seems like it's out of a romance novel or Hallmark movie. Vibrant streets here are lined with cute local shops and restaurants, all with a tight-knit community feel.
An afternoon spent wandering the streets of Comox means a coffee in hand from The Mill, perusing the stacks of a local bookstore, and stopping for a patio drink with an ocean view.
Then there are the beaches, like the nearby Air Force Beach with its bright blue water and velvety sand.
In town, you'll find a picturesque marina and waterfront where you can enjoy distant mountain views and an ocean breeze.
Just 30 minutes away is Saratoga Beach – another stunning shoreline to explore.
This small town is also set on one of Canada's most beautiful destinations — Vancouver Island — which means incredible nature is always within arm's reach. From hidden waterfalls and lush rainforest to ferry rides and famous surf towns — weekend adventures from Comox are endless.
So the next time you think the go-to spot to move to on the West Coast is Vancouver — think again.
