Seal Bay Nature Park offers a beautiful hike through the forest and some rest at the beach. It's a quiet place, not known or visited by many tourists. I enjoyed exploring it with my dog.

In the heart of the Comox Valley, on a slope facing the Georgia Strait, 40 Knots Vineyard & Estate Winery crafts wines distinctly shaped by a windswept, sun-soaked microclimate. Named for the gale force winds that often strike the coast, 40 Knots embraces its unique microclimate, adorning its label with swallows that frequent the vineyard and depict home to a sailor. With wines like Whitecaps, Sea Haven, and Spindrift, the connection to the wind and sea is undeniable. 40 Knots was first established in 2005, by a retired Tug Boat Captain who hand planted over 50,000 vines on glacier till soil in a micro-climate hotter than its surrounding area and facing the Salish Sea. Root stock was brought in from the Champagne and Cote D'Beaune regions of France of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gamay Noir. Additionally hybrids such as the French Pinot Auxerrois and German Siegerrebe and Schoenberger were planted. Owners Brenda Hetman-Craig, and Layne Robert Craig continue to nurture this terroir with environmentally ethical farming practices. 40 Knots employs the creative, innovative and esteemed Chief Wine Maker Matt Dumayne of Okanagan Crush pad. 40 Knots welcomes visitors to come and taste their wines in their cellar tasting lounge, tour the vineyard and cellar and picnic in the beautiful vineyard terrace.

My husband and I had a wonderful Premium Tasting with Jenn. We loved learning about the history of the Winery, as well as the types of varietals grown there and were in awe of its unique and beautiful location. The four wines that we tasted were all enjoyable.... so much so I came home with a few bottles and a few jars of pickled grapes. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience- we will be back again. Cheers from the Interior of BC. Alan & Shirley Boon
5. The Alberni Project - HMCS Alberni Museum and Memorial
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14 reviews
A unique Canadian naval and military history museum centred around the HMCS ALBERNI Memorial. Displays include stories of Canadian soldiers in the Great War to the present day. Interactive displays and research materials make a visit to HAMM a family friendly experience. Periodic guest exhibits are incorporated into the more permanent displays on topics such as Anne Frank: A History for Today, War Brides: One Way Passage, and She Believed She Could and So She Did: the role of Canadian women during the Second World War.

This little museum located in downtown Courtenay is a gem of naval and military history of Canada. But it is not about guns and battles, but rather what a war time experience was like, both overseas, and at home. Based around a memorial to the crew of HMCS ALBERNI, a corvette from the Second World War, the displays expand out to include other aspects of the RCN, the Great War, and the other branches of the military. One gets a good feeling for life during those periods of conflict, and relationships that were forged and lives forever changed. This is a museum that tells many stories. For members there is an interesting lending library and a place to sit quietly to read from the collection for visitors.
