Wander through Steveston’s walkable village centre, where you’ll find:

Unique home goods, books, and clothing from locally owned boutiques.
Artisan markets and galleries featuring BC artists and craftspeople.
Souvenirs that are a little more than your average keychain.

Interpretive signs along the boardwalk also share stories about Steveston’s Indigenous and immigrant history.

🦅 Enjoy the Views (and Wildlife!)

Even off the boat, the Salish Sea is alive. After your tour:

Stroll the harbour boardwalk, where you might spot eagles, herons, and seals.
Sit along the Fraser River and watch fishing boats come and go, and of course, wave at the Seabreeze boats as they go by!
Rent a bike and cruise along the South Dyke Trail, a scenic path that winds past farms, marshlands, and quiet coastal spots.

☕ Slow Down With a Coffee

Need to warm up or wind down? Cozy cafés are tucked throughout the village. Try:

Steveston Coffee Co. for a warm latte and local vibes.
Bean & Beyond for a treat and a view.
Or grab a seat and people-watch at one of the village’s many patio spots.
