STEVESTON LANDING



Steveston is a very old fishing village in our neighborhood of Richmond, B.C.  It is a historic site with many quaint houses and shops.  During summer visitors flock to Steveston's waterfront boardwalks to enjoy the scenery, food, and buskers.  Kids specially enjoy feeding the resident swans and gulls. 

Right on the docks, many local fishermen sell their catch of the day directly out of their boats.  The use of colorful signboards to call buyers' attention has become a tradition.

Steveston is also known as "The Gateway to the Orca," with a very active whale watching industry shuttling boatloads of tourists and locals out to the sea to observe the orcas, seals, and eagles. 
  It is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth and I'm glad to call it home.

Thank you for visiting my blog!
