Sidney Sea Glass Beach & Pier || Vancouver Island

The town of Sidney is a picturesque seaside village with boardwalks, seafood cafes, and quaint shopping streets. Our favourite part, however, was the Sidney Sea Glass beach and the accompanying pier where fisherman hauled up cages filled with Dungeness Crab. It was a great way to spend a morning!

Join Marti from 'Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel' as she and her family explore the shoreline of Sidney, collecting sea glass and learning how to fish for crab. To read more about crabbing rules and regulations, what to expect at the Sea Glass beach visit Marti's blog at

Alert Bay in 4K

Follow me on Instagram @ryesky1 for more pictures and videos of mostly Vancouver Island.

I filmed this on April 20th which has probably been the hottest and most beautiful day of the year so far. Alert Bay is my home town and I lived there for 20 years and it's pretty rare for it to be this hot, especially this early in the year. If you haven't been to Alert Bay, GO THERE!

#30 Kanada | Vancouver Island - Die Brücke | supertrampair

Inmitten der Wälder auf Vancouver Island, im Niagara Canyon des Goldstream Provincial Park, versteckt sich eine alte Eisenbahnbrücke, welche schon seit längerer Zeit von keinem Zug mehr überquert wurde. Wir sind einmal den Schienen gefolgt und haben den Ausblick in luftiger Höhe auf ein Meer von Tannenspitzen genoßen.

A stroll through Telegraph Cove, Vancouver Island

A walk through Telegraph Cove, BC.

Before the trip I was looking for the address of the place I was going to stay at. Only when I arrived I realized there's no need for an address... Check out why!

This small community lies in the northern part of Vancouver Island, and you typically go there to go on bear & whale watching tours.
However, I found also the town itself very enjoyable!
