Coal Harbour: This dynamic community on northern Vancouver Island has transformed from a mining town, military base, and whaling station to a thriving hub. Coal Harbour boasts a vibrant nightlife scene in downtown Vancouver, offering trendy restaurants and lively bars.  For a touch of luxury, explore the high-end shops lining Alberni Street, just a short walk away. If you're seeking retail therapy closer by, the Burrard Landing Mall provides a convenient shopping option. Beyond the shops, Coal Harbour caters to outdoor enthusiasts, serving as a gateway to the rich fishing grounds of Quatsino Sound. Animal lovers can embark on a whale-watching adventure with Quatsino Eco Tours or explore the artistic side at the Graceworks Gallery.
