Telegraph Cove is just 30 minutes south of
Port
McNeill and 10 kilometers off the Island Highway. This is a quiet hamlet where most of its buildings are raised above the water on pilings. The buildings overhang the bay and are inter-connected by a long boardwalk. You can saunter along window shopping at the various businesses or stop and have coffee while you watch the beautiful scenery. |

Don't forget to visit Mrs. P's General Store for an ice cream on your evening stroll down the boardwalk. The General Store is open during the season from June until October, ready to serve you with all your camping, fishing, and touring needs. You will be able to find information about the area and get helpful hints from the friendly staff. Be sure to sit and relax behind the store and just soak in the atmosphere. |

Telegraph Cove Resort has restored and
maintained the village close to its original historical beginnings, you'll feel like you've walked into a pages of the pioneering past when you first set foot at Telegraph Cove. Antiques are scattered along the boardwalk to remind you of days long past. |
| The community got its name because it was
the
end of the line for a telegraph line built before World War I. During World War II, Telegraph Cove served as a relay station. One of the last boardwalk communities in the province, this tiny community has restored most of the buildings - all of which are on stilts above the waterline. Visitors can spend hours wandering the boardwalk, a walk that takes you back into history. The restored buildings include cabins, workshops, bunkhouses, a restaurant, and private homes. |
