Telegraph Cove

Situated in a sheltered cove at the northern end of Johnstone Strait, Telegraph Cove is another one of Vancouver Island North’s historical communities. First as a telegraph station and then a saw mill location, the community has been transformed into an eco-tourism mecca and is a famed starting point for wilderness tours. Whale watching season runs from May to October, and a comfortable, modern fleet of watercraft set out daily in pursuit of resident and migratory orcas, humpbacks, dolphins and sea lions. Grizzly Bear safaris depart by boat destined for Knight Inlet Other activities that are strongly associated with Telegraph Cove include fishing, kayaking, diving, hiking and tours of the Whale Interpretive Centre.

There has been development in the cove for several decades now. Condominiums, and ocean-view development lots are available in the community which is located a 20 minute drive from Port McNeill.

For more information on the historic resort community of Telegraph Cove, please visit the Vancouver Island North Tourism Website
