Comox BC

The name Comox BC is derived from the Kwakwala Indian word Komuckway, meaning Place of Plenty, a reference to the abundant game and berries in the Comox BC Valley. European settlers adapted the name to Komoux, then finally to Comox BC. With a moderate climate, year-round recreational activities like skiing, swimming and golfing, and all amenities close by, Comox BC certainly lives up to its name!

Miles of sandy shore lead off both north and south of the quiet little coastal town, whose charm has not been overwhelmed by either the nearby Canadian Forces Air Base or the more recent influx of arrivals that southern Vancouver Island BC has experienced.

As you head up island towards the Comox BC Valley and Campbell River BC, the peaks and glaciers of Vancouver Island's ranges that rise in the west vie for your attention, principally the imposing Comox BC Glacier, Forbidden Plateau, and Mount Washington. The highway winds past well-kept farms - a serenely rural part of the island journey.
