Top things to do in the San Juan Islands
"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."
"Pick up a package of almond tuiles from St. Germain Bakery, a Chinese bakery at Oakridge that you should not pass by without stopping. Excellent with tea, they have a sandy, crumbly texture that makes them perfect for you, and a sweet nutty taste that kids will love. Unit 137, Oakridge Centre, 650 West 41st Avenue, Vancouver"
