Ladysmith
A small harbour town on the east coast of Vancouver Island, Ladysmith sits right on the water at the 49th parallel, with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size and scenic surrounds close to the mountains. Originally called Oyster Harbour, it sits within the Cowichan Valley Regional District and is connected to the rest of the island by the Island Highway and BC Ferries.
