You have to sample this small, local eatery that offers menu items that are made-to-order and include locally farmed product, Ocean Wise seafood, organic, and gluten-free options. A west coast style restaurant using reclaimed wood throughout, serving craft beer & wines in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Located in a small shopping mall, it's not exactly glamorous, but maybe that explains why it's a favourite spot for Deep Cove locals. Good food, good drink, nice ambience, friendly staff.

Just 33 minutes from Deep Cove in the Mt Seymour Provincial Park, this wintertime ski and snowboard area gets an average annual snowfall of over 1,000 cm (for our US friends, that's almost 33 feet!) The ski area’s 80 hectares (200 acres) of terrain, including 40 hectares (100 hectares) lit for night skiing, features gentle slopes for beginners, and it provides advanced skiers and snowboarders with naturally contoured slopes, gullies, tree runs, and terrain parks. Mount Seymour Resort is Vancouver's starting gate to winter recreation.

Shopping

It's a lot more that a clothing store, to be honest. And it's curated by the very tasteful Megan, another local Deep Cove booster with a great eye. Did we mention she also runs A'hoy next door, and Sunnyside (tea & home goods) just across the street? We think she does great work!!

Like Stong's at 2150 Dollarton Hwy, Nester's takes a slightly "high-end" approach to groceries. However, Nesters is conveniently located next to the government liquor store for your beer, wine and spirits - and adjacent the local Starbucks outlet.

Quarry Rock is one of the most popular day hikes in North Vancouver. It's short enough to make it available to even the most novice of hikers, yet has enough climbing and variation to make things interesting for the weekend warrior also. Within an hour of beginning your hike (the iconic trail starts at the trailhead right on Panorama Drive in Deep Cove), you have access to one of the best views of the Indian Arm you could wish for. Any excuse to grab a coffee and doughnut in Deep Cove Village is worth it, and hiking Quarry Rock is the perfect way to start a weekend morning. An all-season hike, you can tackle Quarry Rock on almost any day of the year. But it’s best to do this one on a clear day. This is also a great hike for children and dogs.

You'll want a car to get there, but we think you'll find that the 30-minute drive is worth the effort. Adjacent to Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal, the park is a favourite for walking the beach, crossing over to the little island at low-tide, and enjoying the sunsets.
