Ladysmith

Ladysmith is a seaside town nestled on the eastern shores of Vancouver Island. This warm and charming small town is steeped in heritage and history. The oceanside park of Transfer Beach is set in a sheltered bay and boasts some of the warmest ocean water on Vancouver Island. It features an outdoor amphitheater and a children's park. The Holland Creek trail system stretches from the oceanside estuary all the way to beautiful Heart Lake in the stunning mountains. The quaint downtown streets are lit up with some of the most festive holiday decorations during Ladysmith Light Up days, which is a popular evening destination for neighboring communities.
