Telegraph Cove

Small, compact and nestled between ocean and rainforest in the northern Vancouver Island wilderness, Telegraph Cove (population around 20) seems to have jumped through time. The boardwalk with its preserved historic buildings recalls a rustic past in which the cove harboured a lumber mill and salmon saltery. From 1911 when the first telegraph operator took up residence in Telegraph Cove this little cove has been a unique part of Northern Vancouver Island.
