Comox Valley A sets an easygoing coastal rhythm across Baynes Sound and the northern Gulf Islands, where working waterfronts, old-growth forests, and sandy coves shape everyday life. The area’s rural communities enjoy quick access to the services and dining in nearby Courtenay, Comox, and Cumberland, while local governance and recreation programs are supported by the Comox Valley Regional District.
Ferries from Buckley Bay connect you to Denman and Hornby islands via BC Ferries, opening the door to beach days and cliff-top walks without a long road trip. Trails weave through arbutus and Garry oak at Helliwell Provincial Park, and the shallow, sun-warmed waters of Tribune Bay are a summer staple, both protected under BC Parks. Closer to the shoreline, you’ll see evidence of the region’s famed shellfish culture—oyster and clam farming has long been part of the local economy.
Families appreciate the small-school experience at Denman Island Community School and Hornby Island Community School, with Royston Elementary on the mainland and secondary options a short commute away in Courtenay. District programs, extracurriculars, and specialty learning are coordinated through Comox Valley Schools (SD 71).
Whether you’re drawn by kayak-friendly bays, farm stands, or island quiet with city conveniences close by, Comox Valley A offers a lifestyle that feels both grounded and adventurous.
