Top things to do in Orcas Island
"1450 64th Ave W Two blocks east of Granville Street at West 64th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia V6P 2N4 Canada+1 604-897-7438[email protected]http://www.kogawahouse.com/wp. Historic Joy Kogawa House is the childhood home of Canadian author Joy Kogawa. Joy and her family lived in the house until 1942, when they were sent to an internment camp along with thousands of other Canadians of Japanese descent."
"This one’s a small space, but, hey, it’s an island without the crowds you’d find on Granville Island. Watch the boat traffic navigate the Fraser River, forage on wild blackberries when in season and stroll the path just north of the park where you might encounter horses or, at the very least, um,...evidence of them. A good alternative for the similar views is the dog-friendly Fraser River Park."
"Located just south of Vancouver, Iona Beach Regional Park is the home of one of the most romantic walks in Vancouver. Iona Jetty is a 4-kilometre long jetty that juts out into the Straight of Georgia, right into the Pacific Ocean. The walk is flat and you can often see wildlife and interesting sea creatures."
"If you find yourself deep in the south, or you’re making a trip to Ikea in Richmond, then this is the spot for you. Nestled inside Northern Building Supply, the Northern Cafe is the most authentic diner on this list. Grab some lumber or hardware, then treat yourself to a burger or some chicken strips before you start your home improvement project."
"A post shared by Jill (@jillonjill) on Jul 26, 2017 at 12:11pm PDT. This hole-in-the-wall diner is definitely one to keep on your radar. It’s literally above a hardware store."
"The first is LA Chicken, a modest-looking food corner, where you get a perfect, prominent-enough dish of juicy and crispy chicken. A true gem tucked away in Richmond. Another place where they prepare top-notch chicken wings, intricately-marinated and golden-colored, is at Wu Fung Dessert."
"Soft Peaks opened a Burnaby location in 2019, and now it’s time for Richmond to get a taste of its signature offerings. The Richmond outpost will be located at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet’s food hall, the Food Folk Eatery. Address: McArthurGlen Designer Outlet — 1000-7899 Templeton Station Road, Richmond (in the Food Folk Eatery)"
