Cain with no line-ups! Ocean kayaking, sight-seeing and fishing are must do's while in this area. There are lots of artists, weavers and carvers throughout the region and many interesting communities to visit. The north end of the island has a smaller population than other regions of the Island. The towns are small and life is much less complicated. The pace is slower and relaxed. The scenery is spectacular and nature is around every corner. Take the time to visit the far reaches of spectacular Vancouver Island. You will be glad you did. The major centres are Port Hardy and Port McNeill. Telegraph Cove is a unique waterfront boardwalk community that you have to visit.
