Voted one of the ten best "towns" in Canada to visit by travel writers (as published in Harrowsmith Magazine), Telegraph Cove is tucked away on the eastern coast of Northern Vancouver Island  in one of the last virtually untouched areas of the North American continent. This tiny sawmill and cannery community was important to the development of the North Island and has a rich and colourful history. From the 1920's to present day, residents of the Cove continue to maintain their firm hold on the area and take pride in being able to present it to the general public in as close to its original condition as possible. You'll love our cozy cabins in the cove, our camping in the forest and RV campground.

The most important reason people return year after year to Telegraph Cove Resort?
Because they feel like family!
Our staff truly love their jobs, and love assisting guests and chatting with you.
There's no other experience like it in Coastal British Columbia. Our guests tell us 'if you come here
you will definitely want to come back, and for a longer stay!'

Not only is it historically significant to the area, it is home to Stubbs Island Whale Watching, the oldest and most well-known Orca (Killer Whale) whale watching company on the pacific coast. Whales, bald eagles, dolphins, porpoises, otters, bears, and an endless and diverse list of marine and forest animals inhabit the surrounding area. Watch grizzly bears feast on salmon with Tide Rip Tours in majestic Knight Inlet. Please visit our Links & Activity Partners Page for a full list of important area links and activities.

Don't forget to visit the Whale Interpretive Centre when you stroll down the boardwalk. Take along a complimentary copy of the Boardwalk House Map that you can book a stay with us during your visit to the North Island. Or perhaps you would prefer a campsite for the night, we have over 120 serviced sites available and our Campground Map will help take the guess work out of deciding which spot is right for you.

Please note: there is NO SMOKING on the boardwalk and fuel docks. This is a historical area, and we have worked hard to restore and maintain original boardwalks and cottage buildings. Cigarettes jeopardize the entire resort. Guests in the houses have designated outdoor smoking areas, and visitors may smoke on the decks at the restaurant and pub, or around the Resort square.
