While we can’t go far these days I gotta stay positive that sooner rather than later we will at least be able to travel in BC again. If you’re getting sick of the city and wanting to plan some day trips to quaint towns around us, I have you covered.
A little disclaimer before we jump in that a lot of these towns can be described as “touristy” meaning a lot of people come to these towns, if this is something you will still be uncomfortable with when restrictions lighten, then this list may not be for you.
But without further ado, here are some charming places to visit around Vancouver, when we can travel more frequently again.

Fort Langley: The quaintest town you ever did see will make you feel like the main character in a Hallmark movie, or walking the streets of Stars Hollow in Gilmore Girls. With cute cafes, shops to wander in and tucked away on a river that you can walk along, this town is charming with a capital “C”.
White Rock: This touristy town is a hot spot for great restaurants, beach bars and just wanting to escape city life. You go there and it feels like you are not in evergreen, forest blooming BC anymore. It really feels like a beachside town you would vacation to. They have a laid-back atmosphere, the quintessential pier we all know and in the summer is the perfect place to get your patio season on.
Steveston Village here in Richmond, has all the beauty and serenity of a postcard, right in front of your eyes 🤩

Steveston: Another seaside port nestled in between some of the busiest cities in BC, Steveston feels like a quick escape to small town life. With great seafood restaurants and picturesque ports this town is also a popular filming location (much like the above choice), such shows as Once Upon a Time, Virgin River and Supernatural have all filmed at this town, taking advantage of its charm.
That is all for now! Hopefully we won’t be just dreaming of exploring new places for too much longer.
