 Steveton Martial Arts Centre by Carmanah
Surrounding the dojo are traditional Japanese rock gardens. If you're going to be visiting the Steveton Community Centre, give these gardens a visit. They may be small, but they're beautifully maintained.
Also, during the Steveston Salmon Festival, the Martial Arts Centre hosts a variety of displays, from traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and martial arts demonstrations, to Japanese doll-making, bonsai exhibits, and Japanese paper art shows.
Keep an eye out for the photographs of the Steveston Japanese community on the walls. Look back in time to an era when the majority of the residents were Japanese. Leave a Comment Directions: It's on the north side of Moncton Street, east of No 1 Rd, located at the Steveston Community Centre.

Fisherman's Wharf is a public fish sales wharf located at Steveston Landing. The idea is that you can come here and purchase fish off the boats from the fishers that caught them. There is no scheduled time when boats will be there - it's completely dependent upon the fishers and what's in season. I've noticed that there's more activity on the weekends than during the weekdays, as it's more profitable for the fishers to bring their boats then.
Note that the fish on these boats have all been frozen at sea before coming back to shore. Most of these fish have actually been thawed. Some of the things you see on these boats vary depending on what's in season. While salmon and prawns are standard, sometimes you'll see halibut, tuna, octopus, cod, shark, and all kinds of oddities you would never expect to find.
Even if you have no interest in purchasing fish, most people take the short stroll down the wharf just for the view. It makes a great place to enjoy fish and chips or frozen yogourt. The wharf heads into the Fraser River and gives you beautiful views of waterfront and Mount Baker in the distance. Sometimes, depending on the season, you can see wildlife such as harbour seals or sea lions. There are sometimes swans, ducks and geese as well. There are always crows and seagulls hanging around, trying to steal food.
Although fishing boats are allowed to use this wharf, it is not a wharf that can be used for pleasure boating. You must speak with the Steveston Harbour Authority for details on that kind of information.
You may also see Vancouver Whale Watch zodiaks docking at Fisherman's Wharf (or their orange life-suit clad passengers!) No, there are no whales in Steveston - they don't come up the river. These whale watching vessels leave from Steveston and head way out to These trips take 3-5 hours.
At the very end of Fisherman's Wharf is the River Queen harbour tour - a short narrated tour of Steveston harbour. Leave a Comment Directions: Located at the southern foot of Second Avenue in Steveston village. You have to walk past all the shops and restaurant patios at Steveston Landing. There is a large "Fisherman's Wharf" sign and flag pole above the entrance to the wharf.

 Busy restaurant patios at
Steveston Landin by Carmanah, 3 more photos
Steveston Landing is nowadays what most visitors remember most when visiting the village. It's a collection of restaurants and shops located on a boardwalk at the edge of the Fraser River. However, Fisherman's Wharf is also located at Steveston Landing - a public wharf where you can purchase fresh seafood off the boats on weekends.
In the summer time Steveston Landing can be a busy place. The restaurant patios are full of people, seagulls are everywhere, the smell of fish & chips is in the air, there are musicians busking, the wharf is full of fishing boats selling fresh seafood, people in orange life suits are seen getting ready for a whale watching trip, and it's generally a lively area with people meandering through, just soaking up the atmosphere. In the winter, however, Steveston Landing tends to be a lot more quiet.
While Steveston Landing doesn't actually hold any real historical signicance, it's seen as a focal point to the rebirth of Steveston's new commercial identity as a tourist-friendly village. Leave a Comment Directions: Located in Steveston Village at the very southern end of Second Avenue where it intersects Bayview Street.

Take a stroll along the old heritage site, and learn some local history of Steveston. The Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site, and the London Heritage Farm.
Steveston has a long history on the West Coast here, open the link for some pertinent information related to this area.
There's an open-air fish market, where you can choose what you buy directly off the boats. On a sunny day, this can be a pleasant place to spend a few hours. There are a few drinking establishments here to refresh your taste buds.
During the summer hours, live music on the docks, and featured Community events happen. Right up until the last month of the year.
There are a lot of new Apartments and Condo's being built down here, so the increase in population is sure to be noticed, but from what I've seen, it's being done with some good taste.
Want to live in a somewhat sleepy community?
Move to Steveston.
