For those wanting a little more action on the water, the Comox Valley is a great place for a variety of water sports including wakeboarding, kitesurfing, waterskiing, windsurfing and snorkeling. Rentals and lessons are available locally for this kaleidoscope of water fun!
The Comox Valley is also an ideal spot for beachcombing and nature viewing. Sandy stretches of beach yield intriguing shells and fossils, while the pebbled shores are filled with flat skipping stones and colourful rocks polished by the waves.
