Steveston Historic Fishing Village
The Steveston Historic Fishing Village is one of Richmond’s gems. It’s Richmond’s version of Granville Island, only smaller, quieter, and certainly packed with charm and loveliness.
It used to be an old dock that has transformed into a popular area filled with quaint shops, pubs, and fantastic restaurants. The atmosphere in Steveston Village is very relaxed and you will feel right at home there.
One of the Village’s most oustanding features is its pier, which remains to be one of the most beautiful places to go for long walks in Vancouver. Strolling along this boardwalk can sooth your soul as you are surrounded by breathtaking water views, beautiful boats and fresh sea air. Schedule your walk to watch the incredible sunrises and sunsets.
If you love whale-watching, Steveston Village also offers guided tours from April through October. They also host wildlife viewing excursions in search of sea lions from April through May. A wonderful historic site to visit is The Gulf of Georgia Cannery, which is also open for tours. Here, you will be able to see how a cannery operates.
Steveston Village also offers a tremendous number of restaurants covering a wide variety of cuisines. Be sure to order from the seafood menu though as Steveston’s restaurants are reknowned for having the freshest seafood cooked to culinary perfection.
