July 2nd - Telegraph Cove


The historic community of Telegraph Cove was established between 1911-12 during the building of the telegraph line from Campbell River and is one of the last boardwalk communities remaining in British Columbia, Canada.


Telegraph Cove has a rich and entertaining history, having been home to a lumber mill, and a chum salmon saltery and cannery after serving as a relay station during World War II. Many of the buildings have now been restored. There is also a marina for small fish boats as well as a camp ground.
You can stroll along the boardwalk past the historic buildings. There is a pub, coffee house and a whale bone museum.
The relics of days gone by line the boardwalk.
