Steveston Village in Richmond BC

Steveston, a quaint, historic fishing village in the southwest corner of Richmond, BC, just minutes from the Vancouver Airport and Vancouver, BC.

Steveston Village has many restaurants and cafes—some on the waterfront . Walk around the village and check out the shops, garden center or antique stores. Steveston is also a great place to spend an afternoon..

Fishing

If you bring your fishing rod, we can arrange a license. Sit across the street by the river or on the dock nearby and wait for a catch. During salmon season there are sockeye, pink, chum, chinook, coho and steelhead. There are also cod, halibut, sturgeon and red snapper. Fishing charters to the Gulf of Georgia and Gulf Islands can be arranged.

Boating

There is a boat launch directly across the road for power boats and paddlers. Kayakers and canoeists experienced with tidal estuaries and currents can enjoy bird watching and wildlife viewing from the protected north side of Steveston Island.

In Steveston, tour companies provide waterfront tours, sea lion tours, whale watching tours and fishing charters.

Bicycling and Walking

Turn to the east from the front door along the dyke past London Heritage Farm, to take in the sweeping views of farmers fields to the north, and over the river south to the Olympic Peninsula and Mount Baker. West is Steveston's working harbour, home to 1,000 fishing boats, the largest commercial fleet in Canada, and scenic views to the Gulf Islands. Beyond Steveston, one can walk along the path to Terra Nova with views over Sturgeon Banks to Vancouver Island. There are more than 20 kilometers of flat biking and walking trails on recreational paths directly accessible from the Abercrombie House.
